"You expecting trouble?"
London based private inestigator Tommy (Riz Ahmed) takes on a seemingly straightforward missing-person case, of a missing Russian prostitute, but it soon throws him into into a dangerous world of politics and fundimentalism.
Raymond Chandler transposed to seedy modern day London, which works.

dredd (2012)
"It's all a deep end."
In the future a ravaged Megacity One is ruled over by a police force called Judges, the most fearsome of which is Judge Dredd (Karl Urban). As part of his day, he is ordered to assess a rookie judge. Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) is a psychic, and picks as their first assignment a triple homicide in Peach Trees tower block. What they don't know is that they are walking into a drug's war with the ultra-violent Ma-Ma clan, who are determined not to let the judges walk out again.
Violent and bloody version of the comic character, focusing on developing him as an action hero, rather than the muted adventure story of the Stallone version.But what elevates this film is centering it on Anderson's character, rather than the emotionally retarded Dredd.
