The original Robocop wowed moviegoers back in 1987 with its heady blend of hardcore violence, state-of-the-art special effects, and cutting social satire, all wrapped in the hugely entertaining tale of a police officer who is fatally wounded in the line-of-duty and reborn “part-man, part machine, all cop.”
The film was so far ahead of its time that it's never felt like it needed a reboot, but this is 21st century Hollywood, and the remake has inevitably arrived, directed by Jose Padilha and starring up-and-comer Joel Kinnaman as Alex Murphy, the policeman-turned-tin man.
Edging us into the future, Robocop take place in 2028, when drones have become fundamental to U.S. foreign policy, with ED-208s – essentially robotic foot soldiers – patrolling war-torn states in the name of Freedom.
