I like the intent behind this version of Robocop – the story of a near-dead-in-action
police officer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman), a family man – and the objectives
of the megalithic Omnicorp to monetize him – turn him into an emotionless law
enforcement officer - literally drowning emotions with dopamine in the process.
But it does not come through in any meaningful degree. While wife Clara (Abbie
Cornish) plays the wronged housewife in a totally uncharacteristic role, it is
Dr. Norton (Gary Oldman) and his moral pangs that possibly lend some semblance
of thespian consistency in a movie that does not leave much of a mark on the
viewer
