Synopsis: In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy - a loving husband, father and good cop - is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
Reaction: A bit of a generic film at times, but it's not bad. A few interesting concepts that aren't fully explored.
Personal Rating: 6/10 |

Random Trivia For This Title: - Director José PadilhaJosé Padilha and actor Joel KinnamanJoel Kinnaman fought hard for an R rating, but due to the ever expanding budget, which went from a modest $60 million and ballooned to $120 million, studio executives were forced to deliver a PG-13 rating in hopes of recouping the money the studio had spent on the film. Throughout the course of filming, studio executives kept a close eye on Padilha, making sure he was going to deliver a PG-13 rating.
- During production of the film, director José PadilhaJosé Padilha phoned friend and fellow Brazilian director [?] Fernando Meirelles to confide in him his frustration in the lack of creative control he was allowed by the studio for the project.

When word of this conversation became public, in an effort to appease the studio Padilha released counter statements expressing satisfaction with the film.
