RoboCop

Police Officer and family man Alex Murphy is critically injured in the line of duty, but Omnicorp saves him by creating a human-machine hybrid. The mix produces a crime fighter like no other, but the company that created him wants to use him for a political agenda and bury his human side. To survive Alex must find a way to keep the human inside the machine alive and uncover the plot against him.

ClearPlay In Action!

ClearPlay mutes around forty instances of language, including an F word, a fair number of S words, and around ten religious exclamations. One scene of sensuality is trimmed, as well. There are a number of disturbing images and a few gory gun shots that are skipped, though much of the gun violence is against robots or done in a bloodless way. With filters, this film skews toward older teens and up.

Should I Patrol with RoboCop?...

This reboot of the 1987 classic is a serviceable actioner with some intense, gritty moments and an interesting premise. It lightly addresses the issue of automated security and surveillance, asking us to think about how much control we are willing to give up to machines. But at its core, this is an action movie with gun battles and raw justice. While it doesn’t get all the notes right, if you’re looking for something that has some heart and some testosterone, give RoboCop a shot.
