Karl Urban said in an interview. “I say this hypothetically. If I went to a movie called Judge Dredd and the lead actor at one point took off his helmet so we could see his full face I would just puke in my popcorn because that’s not Dredd. He is mysterious and enigmatic. We’re doing it right, it’s gonna be harder, grittier and above all faithful to the comic. It’s gonna kick ass.” Yes it did Mr Urban and us Dredd Fans appreciate you for performance.

"Mama is not the law. I am the law." Masterpiece. Impeccable delivery.

The fact this movie didn’t get a sequel is a tragedy

Rookie: "What's incendiary?" Dredd: "Fires white phosphorus." Rookie: "FOR WHAT!?" Dredd: "Urban pacification."

I respect any actor who can forgo the actor trap of narcissisim and resist the urge to show their face. Double respect for an actor who can deliver a top-notch performance with a bucket on his head with the note 'scowl harder' taped to the inside.

I love how they managed to find a way to put his iconic line into the film without it sounding stupid, cheesy or pretentious. It's spoken only one time rather than yell it aloud the entire film, and he says it as an absolute fact rather than a corny catchphrase. "Mama is not the law, *I am* the law." Absolutely love it.

Karl Urban's chin puts on a hell of a performance.

One advantage of the lack of a sequel is that we don't get to see the concept watered down or incompetently tampered with by giant media corporations. The good die young.

Man just fires white phosphorus like it’s just Tuesday for him

"Mama is a common criminal." This was a normal day to Dredd. Let that sink in.

the way he says "mama is not the law... I am the law" as if he was simply reminding the citizens is so good... chills every time

Urban was so good in this movie. You can only see his mouth but he's so convincing. Really underrated movie.

love that look when he calls her a "common criminal". Looks a bit irritated when she realizes the judge doesn't consider her to be significant, Just a Tuesday for him

When Urban's lowkey "I am the law" is more badass than Stallone's...

Still remember me seeing this film for the first time and thinking how they cannot possibly make Dredd say the "I am the law" quote without sound silly after the Stallone movie. I was totally wrong and was happy for it.

One of the best comic book adaptations ever. Karl Urban was perfect casting.

Karl Urban is my god damn hero for having respect for the artform to go "This movie isn't about me, making me more famous, or making you associate my face with this character, the character never takes his helmet off, and im doing that justice" for that I deeply respect him alot more then most actors

It's so awesome when an actor TRULY GETS IT. "I am the law." Reserved. Matter of fact. A promise, not a threat. He is here to do his job. Play time is over. No bravado or over the top heroicism. A future cop speaking plainly to his ailing community.

I love how he sets the tone from the jump by calling the people "inhabitants" instead of "residents". He's letting everyone know how he feels about the entire place and he is speaking to all who dwell there, legally or not

Best part is when Dredd says "It's judgement time" and then he judges the hell out of everyone.

Does anyone else grin uncontrollably at the badassery of Dredd in this scene

Me the entire movie: “Is he gonna say the thing?” Dredd: “Ma-Ma is not the law. I am the law.” Me: “HE SAID THE THING!”

This movie is a masterpiece, specially when you consider the budget they had for it

As much as I love Karl Urban's performance as Dredd... I have to give mad props to Lena Headey as "Ma-ma"...

I like the cinematographic decision at 2:20-2:21 to put Ma-Ma and Dredd at almost the same place within the frame before and after the cut, with the same kind of body language, pose. It really hammers in the idea that even though Dredd is one of the good guys, he's just as brutal as the crime lord herself, if not more; and the criminals and the Judges are pretty much two sides of the same coin in this setting.

Criminally underrated film with a perfect Judge Dredd.

That is what cyberpunk should be like

I wonder how many times he practiced “I am the law.” The delivery is just perfect Karl Urban doesn’t skip a beat during the whole monologue.

Forget Stallone. Karl Urban is Dredd.

Such an underrated movie! "And as for you, MaMa... Judgement Time"

I avoided this movie like the plague because of the Stallone attempt but I eventually saw it a few years ago on TV and it blew me away with how good it was and how good Karl Urban is. Would recommend it to anyone. GREAT MOVIE.

My man said something as silly as "Judgement Tiiiiime" with such badass intensity. Karl Urban is Dredd. He's Billy Butcher. He's Eomer. He's the fucking man.

He said it! He said the line!

This is a criminally underrated movie. It's GUILTY

A genuinely well written and well delivered version of the line that could have easily been so cheesy. This movie is a gem.

Urban's delivery is just perfect here. Everything is stated as a fact. No threats, no bravado, just reminding people of the laws of reality. And then at the end, allowing himself just a tiny bit of actual emotion. After everything he's been through, that restrained irritation is far more terrifying than any furious rant could be. It means he's still in control, and that means you're dead.

Karl Urban deserves so much credit for this version of Dredd. He fkin nailed it..

I will die on this hill..."Dredd" is the most criminally underrated action/comic adaptation of all-time. I will die on this hill.

"I am the law" and "judgement time". Two of the baddest and chilling lines ever said.

Rewatching this scene, I like the little detail of the quick transition from when Dredd orders incendiary and pulling the trigger. There's no hesitation, no dramatic aiming, no pause. Dredd knew exactly what he was going to do and how, and he executed it flawlessly.

I love how slow motion is not a gimmick. It is explained in the story of the film it's a drug that makes you experience slow motion. And it doesn't happen all the time either.

This is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time. They really need to do a second one

Karl Urban doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for his faithfulness in portraying this role. Helmet on, monotone delivery, absolutely zero bullshit. Karl Urban absolutely killed it as Dredd, and this movie is a relic of what superhero films could've been

I still think getting a little more character development on MaMa would've been nice.. but I guess in the end she didn't matter. Like Dredd said, she's a common criminal. Even if she thinks she's a bigshot, even if she's the boss of this megablock.. in the grand scheme of things she's just another criminal. just another target for Dredd to take out. They should've made a sequel. The cinematography, the direction, the acting, the writing, the faithfullness to the comics.. everything was excellent. I feel the reason this didn't do so great in the boxoffice is that they felt it needed to be packaged with the 3D gimmick that people have already gotten tired of. In theatres, it wasn't "Dredd", it was "Dredd 3D". Just that alone probably pushed a bunch of people away because when you throw the gimic in to the title it gives the impression they're just trying to rely on the 3D aspect for the movie to actually be entertaining.. wich with Dredd was certainly not the case.

Karl Urban and Lena Headey are golden. It's extremely difficult to have a good protagonist without a good antagonist in a comic book adaptation, that's why Nolan's second Batman it's also the best Batman adaptation. And in this movie they were perfect.

"I am the law" Immediately proceeds to commit war crimes Dredd #1 based movie

Every actor who can say "MAMA"still sounding badass deserves a praise

Thank you Karl for so many great sci-fi moments

Damn this is just TOO GOOD! The way he looks upon the burning criminals and there's fire in his visor - omg that is so iconic and awesome His stern mouth just seems unphased - it's judgement time

Karl Urban absolutely nailed Dredd bro. This movie is so underrated and I'm so sad. I was STOKED to see the remake and they KILLED IT.

This had elements of Rio Bravo, Trespass, the Raid and Assault on Precinct 13 - brilliant movie.

They nailed Dredd in this movie... Karl Urban did an excellent job and thanks for leaving the helmet on.....

I love these clips from Dredd. It became an instant fave after my first viewing. And how could you not love Lena Headey.

Instead of a quick and swift death, Dredd went the Willy Pete route. That’s brutal.

Not having a sequel to this masterpiece is a greater crime than anything Ma ma has ever done

Badman: "Look! They are dancing!" >_

Karl Urban's chin should have won an Oscar for its performance

Note to self: mess with the man and you will get Willie Pete.

I just love the "Judgement time" line. Sends chills down my spine every time.

This film is criminally underwatched and underappreciated.

The soundtrack is one of the main things that made this movie one of the best comic book adaptations to date. This and The Crow stand tall among a sea of mediocrity

They made an absolute masterpiece. And I hope Karl is as happy about being its centerpiece as he deserves to be.

I've never read a Dredd comic, but you don't need to to enjoy this movie. It's a kick ass action flick in its own right.

Stallone: I AM LAW! Karl: I am the law.

Karl Urban *is* Dredd. his portrayal of Dredd is perfection. Now that he's older he's even better for the role. A Dredd TV series appears to be in production. Karl Urban MUST BE cast as Dredd. No ifs, no buts. This is the law.

"Ma-Ma is not the law. I am the law" I broke into a cold sweat when I first heard him drop that line. He's so deadpan and matter-of-fact when he delivers this speech to the gang that it put the fear of God in me as just a member of the audience.. Karl Urban absolutely killed it with this role. He is the law.

The soundtrack is the third main character in this movie. It completes the awesomeness of Dredd and Anderson. If this movie ever have a sequel, it must have the same music composer: Paul Leonard-Morgan.

The reflecting flames in his visor are a perfect touch

I think one of the best aspects of this movie was the decision to make Ma-Ma really just a very common criminal. She's not a super-genius, she's not a supernatural being or a cyborg. She's the petty warlord of one megastructure, just a drug kingpin who happens to be extremely sadistic and violent. In her little world of Peach Trees, Ma-Ma believes she is the law. She has no idea what kind of one-man apocalypse Dredd is.

I was alreadya fan of Karl Urban, this performance made me a super fan.

"Mama is not the law. I am the law." my dad when Mom isn't at home

One of the most underrated movies of all time!

This scene is pretty much the meaning.. I haven't eaten Breakfast yet

Sending your Uber Eats driver to kill a Judge…really😂

Just a little bit of love to the actors playing the gangsters. They have that perfect mix of apprehension, bravado, and fear that real people mixed up in crime have.

This movie is standing the test of time as we speak, over ten years old and still hits like a fucking freight train, massive kudos to Urban and the writers of this masterpiece

I believe this to be the most underrated film ever made. And its virtually unknown to the mainstream...

The casting and execution of this movie, what an absolute treat, they did the source material proud!

This was the first clip I'd seen of Urban's take on Dredd, and it gave me goosbumps. I knew right there and then he'd nailed it. Big Clint would be proud of that delivery himself.

Karl Urban Dredd > Stallones Dredd. Not even a contest.

Crime: Being an accessory to MaMa's crimes. Sentence: *_Incendiary_*

I would not be surprised if once hes done filming with the boys he comes back for the long awaited sequel

@1:20 they couldn't break my mans off with a better wig than THAT?

00:18 what I tell my son when he says mama gave him permission and I disagree.

Stallones facial features with urbans acting = dredd perfection.

I like how this Dredd doesn’t ever really raise his voice. He doesn’t yell or try to convince others of his point of view, he merely states cold, hard facts.

One of my favorite action films.

1:09 Brother had time to straighten his hair like Rick James during the apocalypse...🤣

Every character is perfectly cast. Brilliant film.

"You have been waaarrrnnned..." Gotta love that delivery

I loved this movie so much. I really do hope a second movie will come out with Urban in it again!

Before the boss fight: Ei, remember, don't stand in the fire DPSes: Yeah, sure Boss fight starts DPSes: 2:07

The guy with the hair is my favorite side character in the whole movie

GOOSEBUMPS. EVERYTIME.

2:19, it was at this moment that Mama knew.....she fucked up.

0:54 my most part of the movie was when dredd said: "it's judging time" and started judging all over the place. Truly one of the scene of all time!

one of the best movies in the past couple of decades

That moment Mama realized she was losing control and in real tangible danger.

How did this not get a sequel?

It's insane how Hollywood can't figure out that a movie like this, that is true to the source material, is dark, doesn't have any cheese, give everyone a fucking amazing ride from start to end....is what everyone wants. How can they be so blind?
