Sylvester Stallone is dreadfully serious as "Judge Dredd" but
that is how his comic book character is supposed to be played. In the post
apocalyptic world, the judges dispense law and order as cop, judge, jury
and executioner. Sure it would clear up the back log in the courts, but
something is wrong with the system and "Judge Dredd" finds that
out when he is wrongly convicted. Rob Schneider gives much needed levity
to the proceedings while Armand Assante is a passable villain. But state
of the art special effects compete with Stallone for center stage and occasionally
they win. "Judge Dredd" is a fast ride that is deserving of the
R rating for violence.
