The film you’re describing sounds like *Judge Dredd* or *Dredd*, both of which are set in a dystopian future where law and order are enforced by the Judges, a group of officers who serve as judge, jury, and executioner. In this bleak future, cities are overrun with crime and corruption, and the Judges wield absolute power to maintain order.

In *Judge Dredd* (1995), starring Sylvester Stallone, the story follows Judge Dredd, one of the most feared and respected Judges in Mega-City One. Dredd is framed for a crime he didn’t commit and must clear his name while battling corrupt forces within the system.

In *Dredd* (2012), starring Karl Urban, the plot is more focused on a single day in the life of Dredd, as he and a rookie Judge, Anderson, are trapped inside a massive apartment complex controlled by a ruthless drug lord. The Judges must fight their way through the building to bring justice.

Both films explore themes of authoritarian control, justice, and the blurred lines between law and morality in a decaying society.
