 Plot Summary:
Set in 2028, RoboCop follows Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman), a Detroit police officer who is critically injured in the line of duty. He is transformed into a cyborg law enforcement officer by the OmniCorp corporation. While initially viewed as a tool for profit and control, Murphy begins to rediscover his humanity, leading to a confrontation with those exploiting him.

 Highlights:

Modern Take on a Classic: This reboot updates the 1987 original with advanced visuals, a sleek new RoboCop suit, and an emphasis on modern technology.
Strong Supporting Cast: Gary Oldman delivers a compelling performance as Dr. Dennett Norton, the scientist behind RoboCop’s creation, while Michael Keaton shines as the manipulative OmniCorp CEO.
Themes of Ethics and Humanity: The movie explores complex questions about artificial intelligence, corporate greed, and the ethics of combining man and machine.
 Weaknesses:

Lacks the Original’s Satirical Edge: While visually impressive, the film fails to capture the biting social commentary and dark humor of the original RoboCop.
Predictable Plot: The storyline, while engaging, doesn’t deviate much from typical sci-fi action tropes.
Joel Kinnaman’s Performance: While serviceable, Kinnaman’s portrayal of Alex Murphy lacks the emotional weight of his transformation.
 Impression:
The 2014 RoboCop reboot is a polished action film with intriguing themes and a strong supporting cast. However, it doesn’t fully match the depth and iconic status of the original. It’s a visually satisfying ride but ultimately plays it safe
