In RoboCop, 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.

Review :
Comparing with Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original version is unfair, but the new ROBOCOP here manages to stand on its own as a reasonably engaging effort.
In 2010, acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky (THE WRESTLER, BLACK SWAN)
was originally attached to direct the ROBOCOP reboot. Frankly, I
thought he was the right choice to reboot the once-popular franchise
back in the late '80s. Unfortunately, he quits the project and
Brazilian director Jose Padilha (ELITE SQUAD, ELITE SQUAD: THE ENEMY
WITHIN) was brought in as his replacement.
WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?
When police detective Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) is critically injured
during a car explosion in front of his home, CEO of OmniCorp Raymond
Sellars (Michael Keaton) sees him as a golden opportunity to make him
feel alive again by turning him into "Robocop" -- a cyborg police
officer which is touted as the future of law enforcement in America.
However, OmniCorp doesn't realize that Murphy still has a personal
vengeance in his mind to pursue the criminals who nearly caused him
dead.
THE GOOD STUFF
Like the first two ELITE SQUAD movies, director Jose Padilha delivers
the same raw intensity that gives ROBOCOP a quasi-documentary feel to
the action sequences. Even though Padilha utilizes shaky camera-work,
at least he doesn't make the scene so wobbly until the viewers unable
to see what's really going on. The special effects are spectacular,
while the costume design for the all-new Robocop in a black tactical
body actually looks quite nifty.
Swedish-American actor Joel Kinnaman (best known in the US for TV's The
Killing) delivers an emotionally engaging performance as Alex Murphy
and Robocop, while Michael Keaton steals most of the spotlight as the
slimy CEO of OmniCorp Raymond Sellars and Gary Oldman gives a perfectly
restrained performance as the sympathetic Dr. Dennett Norton. Other
minor roles -- including Abbie Cornish as Murphy's wife, Clara; Jackie
Earle Haley as the military tactician Mattox; and Samuel L. Jackson as
the media host Pat Novak -- are all equally impressive.
MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT(S)
The brief but intense battle between Robocop and a small army of ED-209
during the climactic finale.
THE BAD STUFF
The biggest weakness in this ROBOCOP reboot is Joshua Zetumer's
captivating but bloated screenplay. First of all, the story drags too
much with Murphy's personal family matter with his estranged wife Clara
(Abbie Cornish) and son David (John Paul Ruttan). Then there's the
underwritten plot involving Murphy's personal vengeance against Antoine
Vallon (Patrick Garrow), who is responsible for the car explosion. Even
the so-called social commentary involving the "robo-phobic" issue
quoted by Samuel L. Jackson's Pat Novak doesn't really say much that
worth a debate.
FINAL WORDS
While the new ROBOCOP is far from a genre classic by any means, at
least Jose Padilha's version isn't as bad as most people might have
expected. Just put your mindset of the Paul Verhoeven's original 1987
version aside, and treat this as an entirely new movie altogether.
