Dredd from 2011or 2012 was pretty good. Only eye rolling parts was the female sidekick being somewhat of a mary sue and the female villain being the leader of a gang in a rundown city looked implausible, other than that it felt the closest to an old school Die Hard type of action movie from the late 80s/early 90s.
Dredd, is not really a Die Hard clone, its more like The Raid, which is an awesome film.
I have to disagree with you on the female parts though, unlike most modern films, the females are flawed and nuanced characters.
The gang leader is a ruthless manipulator that gets men to do the hard work for her and when it gets to the finale and she thinks she has the upper hand, Dredd just destroys her, there is no BS fistfight between them.
His partner is a rookie who has trained since a child to be tough and resourceful and still fails to measure up the the standards of a Judge, and she is empathetic towards others in a way that modern films dont portray women.
Both these roles really shine when juxtaposed Dredd, who is the embodiment of the law. He is tough, uncompromising and cant be deterred in any way.
The gang leader believes she can just buy off, subvert, threaten or seduce anyone to her way, but Dredd isnt having that and just plows through anything she puts in his way.
But its the nuances of the relationship between him and the rookie that adds depth to both their characters, she is determined to show she has what it takes to be a Judge at the start, and he doesnt give a shit about her special abilities, he believes she either meets the standard for all Judges or fails. When she tries to be the best she fails. Its only when she thinks she has failed that she goes all in (because she isnt second guessing herself) and finally wins Dredds approval.
Additionally, the rookie tempers Dredd at a couple of points, allowing him to see beyond whats in front of him to the hidden truth (like the guy who had his eyes cut out actually being a victim) and this makes Dredd more human to the audience.
They are surprisingly real female characters and an amazingly masculine hero for a Hollywood film. No wonder it wasnt a box office smash, but everyone who isnt a film critic who watches it loves it.
