Dredd
A box-office flop in 2012, Dredd—the film based on the postapocalyptic Judge Dredd comic-book series—has become a cult hit after its initial release. There are a number of reasons for this: The visual effects are stunning (especially the scenes depicting the high of the addictive drug Slo-Mo, a crucial part of the plot), the film's vision of the future is depressing (but watchable), the action scenes are well-executed, and both Lena Headey and Karl Urban give fantastic, gritty performances. It's all there.
