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

Uneven

While it was vastly superior to the 2nd (one of the worst movies I've ever seen) and marginally better than the 3rd, I was still disappointed with the remake because the action scenes were just OK and it had no main villain. The criminals didn't have much personality either. It was more the psychological side of RoboCop and those scenes worked best, but as an action movie, I was disappointed.
