Storyline
The year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the
center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the
military for years - and it's meant billions for OmniCorp's bottom
line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the
home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy
(Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best
to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit - is critically
injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man,
part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city
and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on
one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.

User Reviews
I really don't
understand all the hate this movie gets. Yeah, I get it, it's a reboot
of a perfectly good 80s movie that nobody really wanted, but it's a
really good one! I expected a mindless Micheal Bayian action movie and
what I got was a really smart, interesting and entertaining look at
trans-humanism, the freedom of choice, politics and recklessness in
corporate leaders.
This movie really dives into the question of how a person could live his day to day live with almost all of his body amputated and stuck inside of a machine. So when people complain about the uncomfortable scenes between Murphy and his wife, I can only imagine they mean what happened after his transformation, and that felt exactly the way it was supposed to!
So yes, the original is way more graphic and still holds up to this day as a gruesome action flick, but this one is smart and interesting and really is a good movie in it's own right.
And by no means is it as bad as people say it is!
