In 2028, OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. While its drones have long been used by the military overseas, their use is forbidden in American law enforcement. However, OmniCorp gets a golden opportunity to crack that market when Detroit cop Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) is critically injured in the line of duty. By transforming Murphy into a cyborg, OmniCorp executives hope to rake in billions for their shareholders, but they forget one thing: There's still a man inside the machine.

Critics Consensus

While it's far better than it could have been, José Padilha's RoboCop remake fails to offer a significant improvement over the original.

Scott Tobias The Dissolve [A]fter an opening sequence as promising as the one here, it needs at least an attempted follow-through, not the jumble of confused ideas and time-wasting effects that take up the bulk of the film. Rated: 2.0/5 Feb 20, 2014 Full Review Christopher Orr The Atlantic Surveying the peculiar array of 1980s retreads clustered into release this week, I'm reminded of Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part II, traveling forward in time 30 years to discover that everything is still the same, only worse. Feb 14, 2014 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) The Brazilian director José Padilha may be working for a Hollywood studio but he doesn't temper his critique of American imperialism, big business and political corruption. Rated: 3/5 Feb 14, 2014 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ What could have been a depressing assault on the childhood of those who grew up in the 1980s was instead one of the best action-sci-fi movies since Minority Report over a decade earlier. Rated: 5/5 Apr 4, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It isn’t as provocative as it wants to be. It isn’t as clever as it tries to be. It isn’t as witty as it needs to be. But it is more fun than I ever expected it to be. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review A smarter-than-average actioner that may not be as fun or edgy as Verhoeven’s, but manages to do what remakes so often strive and fail to accomplish: It achieves a new take on an old classic and does so with enough innovation to warrant its existence.

Bryan S It's kind of hard to put my finger on what was so bad about this movie. The special effects were good enough. Most of the acting (everyone except the guy playing Alex Murphy) was good enough. The story might be a little too heavy on the 'evil corporation' trope, but nothing more than a hundred other perfectly good movies. However, for me this movie is less than the sum of its parts. I just didn't enjoy it at all. About halfway through, I turned it off and found something better to do. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Harvey D It's a mostly forgettable movie, but I found it to be entertaining at times. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review TorQue M The movie definitely pales in comparrison to the original, but that's to be expected considering how awesome the original was. I doubt even Verhoeven would be able to make a good follow up. With that out of the way, the 2014 remake is a decent movie. Is it amazing? No. It is however a decently fun film with some good acting and great supporting cast. I'd love to see what they could do with a new RoboCop movie now. Hopefully Amazon's version lives up to the original, but even if it doesn't, it's RoboCop so they'll have me watching day one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Paul S Compared to the original RoboCop, this one can't really compete. It lacks the intensity and action of the first one, which made this a real downgrade. Despite its flaws, this movie is really fun to watch. The story is compelling, and it has amazing visuals. I definitely recommend it for sci-fi and action fans! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Paul Y Went in with bad expectations because of all the bad reviews, but was pleasantly surprised at how engaging and fun this movie was. Might not be the most faithful remake but was still a fun popcorn flick regardless. Definitely deserves a higher rating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
