RoboCop (2014)

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."

I don't think there's anything more disappointing than a project that tries to do the right thing and fails doing it. Unfortunately, the new RoboCop failed. This review contains major spoilers for the original RoboCop (Billie's review is here), as well as some minor spoilers for this remake.

Murphy: "Dead or alive, you're coming with me."

I don't care for heavy-duty violence in movies. But I've always had a soft spot for RoboCop. It should have been a forgettable B movie, and it wasn't. It's clever, bitingly satirical, moving and visceral. It stayed in my head a long time after I first saw it.
