RELATED: A New Judge Dredd Game Could Be HUGE If It Looked Like This It’s understandable why Stallone wouldn’t want to take a leading role if he had to hide his face the entire film, but it was the single biggest strike against the spirit of the film's source material. His identity is unnecessary for what his purpose as a Judge is. The law is objective and without feeling Dredd is the walking incarnation of that rule. Why? Because he is the law and the law is faceless. Judge Dredd has never and will never reveal his face. The most egregious sin the film commits is actually its most simple: showing Dredd’s face. The list of reasons why the film was panned as hard as it was are many. Unfortunately, Judge Dredd was widely regarded as a critical failure, despite bringing in $113.5 million dollars on a budget of $90 million dollars.
With a straightforward premise and boasting one of the biggest action stars of all time as the titular character from a comic series that oozes action out of every pore, Judge Dredd seemed like an absolute win on paper. Dredd is accused of murder and must fight to not only prove his innocence but defeat the person responsible for his setup. Directed by Danny Cannon and starring Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd, and Diane Lane as Judge Hershey, Judge Dredd follows a rather simple plot.
