Directed by José Padilha and starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish and Samuel L. Jackson.
“The real problem with this remake is its lack of big, brass, robo-balls.” Chris Tilly, IGN
“Throughout, one character refers to the new RoboCop as ‘Tin Man’ and to the film’s credit, it desperately wants to have a heart. Oh, if it only had a brain.” Chris Hewitt, Empire
“Context is the name of the game when it comes to Robocop in 2014, and instead of having something decent to say about modern America, Padilla is obsessed with detonating scenery.” Cameron Williams, The Popcorn Junkie
“The shocking body horror, cutting satire and emotional impact of the original have been ruthlessly stripped away, leaving a soulless metallic carcass designed by committee to amplify external gloss and maximise commercial profit.” Ben Rawson-Jones, Digital Spy
“Ultimately, despite Padilha’s admirable efforts to put a human face to this story, the film misses both opportunity and the point. It’s perfectly enjoyable, but nothing special.” Cat Collins, SciFiNow
Robocop is out in cinemas islandwide now. Book your tickets at Cathay Cineplexes, Filmgarde Cineplex, Golden Village or Shaw Theatres.
