You can do worse than Android Cop, but you can do with much, much better as well. It is saved from total disaster by a couple of passable(but nothing more than that) effects and the performances of Michael Jai White and Charles S. Dutton. White has a lot of charisma and manages to put some meaning into his monologues while Dutton performs with terrific gusto, funny and a touch menacing. Unfortunately the rest of the acting is not good, the worst is Larissa Vereza who is both annoying and bland, you often don't have a clue what she's saying. Randy Wayne is bad too, he is robotic emotionally even for a robot, plays it far too straight-faced and is nowhere near aggressive or charismatic enough(he doesn't even command or intimidate physically because he's too short and scrawny). Kadeem Hardison doesn't get much to shine with, he has talent but has such an insignificant character that it's a waste really. The characters are very poorly developed and are not interesting or likable at all, the "villains"- difficult to call them that when there isn't really a main one, just a handful of insignificant ones- are written stereotypically, don't seem much of a threat and just seem to be there to be a source of conflict(that doesn't work, seeing as how poorly they are written). The worst case however was for the titular character, absolutely no effort to make to explain where he came from, the reason for his creation and existence and how he came to be the way he was, it is very difficult to engage with a character that we know nothing about and is this poorly acted. Most of the special effects are static and cheap, and the practical ones are little better. The android suit can't even be classed as one, it read too much of a man in a nylon tight-suit.

The editing is very choppy and whatever good locations there are are not used very well with no time to enjoy them, in fact most of the settings are dreary and yes that is even for the type of movie Android Cop is. The worst aspect though of Android Cop is the writing(both in script and story). There is barely even a script, when there are bare bones of it has a lot of stilted lines especially anything that comes out of Vereza's mouth(her English is not easy to understand and she stumbles on a lot of her lines) and sketchily drawn characters. The story is little more than a convoluted jumble, too much is thrown in within such a short running time and nothing makes sense as a result. The action sequences are generic and has nothing new to what's we've seen before in action movies we've seen previously, it doesn't help also that some of the worst of the production values are in the action sequences, while there is no sense of suspense or conflict which adds to the pointlessness of the "villains" and even the titular character. If Android Cop was longer and the pace slowed down it would have felt much less hectic and may have been a tad more coherent. Atkins' direction is sloppy, the material completely goes out of control, the actors should have had much more to do than what they had, he rushes through things and slaps it all together and he should have realised that the movie needed a serious re-write and that the scenes between White and Vereza needed re-takes because of how badly Vereza(White occasionally too) fluffs her lines. To sum things up, not absolute garbage- you can certainly do worse than Android Cop- but on most counts it is a mess. 3/10 Bethany Cox

45 minutes worth of script expanded to a 90 minute movie makes this for a pretty dull ride for the most part, often moving at a snails pace.

I like Michael Jai White and think that he's a good action-star but he doesn't always have the best luck with the quality of movies he get to do, and this is without a doubt the worst movie I've seen him in.

It's basically a rip off of Robocop, but I didn't really expect much else, I did expect to be at least somewhat entertained (even if part of the entertainment would most likely be for the 'wrong reasons') but even that did not ring true.

Michael Jai White feels uninspired but his natural charisma brings the rating up one notch without even trying.

It makes some attempt at adding the occasional joke here and there to lighten the mood from the 'serious tone' of the movie but the comedic timing is so off that it gets more cringe-worthy than anything else.

Also offers one of the most predictable twists in the end that I've seen in a long long time.

Acting: 3/10, Productionvalue: 2/10, Script: 1/10

Okay it's another typical Asylum ripoff of an old classic science fiction movie. It's so bad it's comical but maybe that's the point. It has bad acting, bad FX and a bad script. So if you want to see a cheesy spoof, this might give you a chuckle or two.

The Asylum does it again; take on a forthcoming potential blockbuster and make a poor man's version of it. This time it is with the remake of "Robocop", and The Asylum cleverly called it "Android Cop". Potato, potato...

Despite it being such a shameful and blatant copy of "Robocop", then I will say that The Asylum actually well all the way with this one, and it is by far one of their best productions to date. Be it a rip off or not, there are so many similarities that you just can't ignore.

Moving on... The movie is about police officer Hammond (played by Michael Jai White, I wonder how they managed to get him to do this particular movie) who ends up having to work with a highly advanced android police officer (played by Randy Wayne). Teamed up, they have to infiltrate a dangerous zone to find the mayor's daughter. But as they progress in their investigation, more and more secrets are unveiled, and things are definitely not what they appear.

"Android Cop" was actually rather enjoyable, despite being a rip off movie. Just take it for what it is, and don't read too much into it.

The effects in "Android Cop" were actually quite nice, especially for a production by The Asylum - they really upped the stakes here. And it was a nice thing, a most welcomed thing indeed. The CGI effects were quite good. The only thing that wasn't overly impressive was the toy-like suit of armor that the android police officer was wearing.

"Android Cop" get a solid 5 out of 10 stars from me, and this is definitely a step up for The Asylum - I just wonder when they will stop with the copying of forthcoming potential blockbusters and start coming up with original ideas for themselves...

If you're familiar at all with The Asylum, you pretty much already know what you're in for. That said, for The Asylum, this isn't bad. Don't mistake that for "good," though. But you could do worse.

The effects could be better, but they aren't completely terrible. The biggest letdown of the film is the under-utilization of Michael Jai White's martial arts skills. It's in there, but not as much as it could or should have been. Too many camera cuts.

This is a low budget film. It rides the coat tails of Robocop, and has the slight essence of the TV show Almost Human - without being a rehash of either. So don't expect either. Pleasantly surprising coming from The Asylum. Definitely one of their better films.

When I say this had to be most cheap looking movie I've ever seen in my life its understatement. Horrendous visuals, bad cgi, weird close up shots, shaking camera, list goes on. Stay away from this movie at all costs!

Some cop and a robot must uncover some conspiracy involving a deadly disease or whatever. Like I care. Android Cop is a dull piece of mongoloid excrement with unexciting action sequences, a story that makes my blubber butt more meaningful, stupid special effects and an extremely unconvincing futuristic world. Oh why can't Michael Jai White get better acting jobs. He's better than this. This is pitiful. Anyways, contracting herpes is better way to spend your day than watching this sphincter.

Android Cop is an excellent film which I really enjoyed watching. This film is an action packed thriller which has some fight scenes as well but is mainly about dealing with non human criminals in a forbidden city plagued with a disease. This film was a tiny but scary, but more of a mysterious action packed thriller and that is what makes it completely different to the film Robocop. The film has some excellent acting by Michael Jai White as Hammond, Kadeem Hardison as Sgt Jones, Randy Wayne as Android Cop, Charles S. Dutton as Mayor Jacobs, Larissa Vereza as Helen Jacobs and Delpaneaux Wills as Officer Williams. Ignore the negative reviews, this definitely is an excellent film.

First off, this IS a budget movie, with budget movie production values. Second, taking that into account, it's not so bad. I've seen many many films with way bigger budgets that were FAR worse. I don't recall any Blaxploitation film being made with high production values, though this is definitely a B-movie. It is called Android Cop, and the android part doesn't take over. Good use of future technology to drive the story.

Acting; reasonably good throughout, with a few exceptions. C S Dutton as the mayor is very good. Not such a big role, but what he does he does well. The main protagonists are somewhat hampered by the characters they have to play, but they manage it well enough.

Action; in parts it suffers from the 'many bullets' syndrome of so many Hollywood films. Hundreds of bullets are sprayed from endless ammo guns, and hardly any damage. Oh well, seen that a thousand times.

Photography; for such a low budget film, in parts some of the angles and editing are quite gripping. Only a couple of times did I find myself really criticising the angles, timing of cuts etc.

Dialogue; well, I burst out laughing a couple of times. Genuinely funny. It's not very moving, but it's not saccharine either. Again, only a couple of times did I think the lines were lame.

Story; nothing new, but well delivered. Twists and turns in the right places and nicely paced.

Overall, I didn't think I had wasted my time.

It was quite the experience! This film has a blend of bad action and sci-fi that feels like a throwback to classic buddy cop flicks but with a futuristic twist (basically a Robocop ripoff). The story follows a tough cop partnered with an android in a gritty, crime-ridden city. The chemistry between the two leads is quite entertaining, and their banter brings some humor to the otherwise heavy themes, but overall the story is just dumb. The plot is extremely predictable and the special effects are even worse. At least the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, which allows the viewer to not be constantly bored by overwhelming pretentiousness, like it usually happens in bad sci-fi flick. At least this movie is self aware.

This is supposed to be a sort of apocalyptic future, but its highly convoluted, what is the real tragedy, is that Micheal Jai White really could be a fairly good action star, when you see movies like Never Back Down 2, you see the potential for it.

BTW.. this isn't a ITS such a BAD movie, its sort of good movie.. its a BAD movie and its really BAD.. it follows on the heels of other MJW movies I have seen lately.

I have a hard time even finishing his last few.

This is overall poor performance from the cast, with cheap production and a rip story-lines as well.

This isn't the sort of independent low budget movie, that you say, "hey, that is sort of cool" no.. its horrendous.

Recommend "skip it"

'Android Cop' is the progeny of 'Lethal Weapon' and 'RoboCop' on a budget. There's a little more plot structure than usual, and the script is half-decent even if some of the acting is decidedly half-baked.

Good to see former Australian rugby league player Ian Roberts in a minor supporting role as a radiation-infected kingpin of the wasteland (which look like some current public housing districts), and then more prominently, Kadeem Hardison as an LA police officer who along with star Michael Jai White must venture into the quarantine zone where crime is running rampant.

Like many other Asylum pictures, the studio backlots, industrial warehouses and urban alleyways provide unlimited sets depicting 'futuristic' scenery (traffic is clearly visible in some shots) and what those ubiquitous locations can't deliver, amateurish CGI takes care of the rest.

Mediocre mockbuster, with reasonable fight choreography and reasonably assured performances by White, Hardison and Dutton (although Wayne as the titular cyborg is comically wooden), 'Android Cop' is a passable buddy picture that's not great , but not as awful as it could've been under the circumstances.

Ah, another blockbuster, another knock-off. This time, it is of the RoboCop remake. I picked the combo-pack from my local Best Buy today. Basic Plot: A human cop is teamed up with a machine while sinister forces watch and wait (hardly a spoiler, the box itself gives us as much). In other words, this is a RoboCop knock-off.

I will just tell it like it is. The action scenes are pretty good. Michael Jai White is visibly doing all his own fighting and probably most of his own stunts (minus a couple CGI stunts – you'll know them when you see them). No complaints about the hand-to-hand combat. And when the guns come out the shooting stays pretty exciting. It's on par with 3 Musketeers (also from The Asylum).

The CGI, in my opinion, deserves its own paragraph. For once, the CGI was developed in-house so The Asylum didn't have to rely on the always fake looking effects of "Tiny Juggernaut". The CGI looks way better and a certain vehicle used in the film looks very real, like it was actually there. That and those two afore-mentioned stunts were pretty much the only visual effects used in the whole movie. They didn't go for the "robot point-of-view" (like in AVH: Aliens vs Hunter) or have everything get CGI exploded (like in 3 Musketeers). Quite the opposite: when something blows up (and that's very seldom), it's with real explosives!

The acting is pretty good. All actors do a pretty good job. There's plenty of action movie acting and very little character development but, all in all, better than I've seen in similar films. Charles S. Dutton is really going for the Oscar at the end of the film. And one must give props to Randy Wayne who has the hardest job of all – the title character.

All things considered, this is an entertaining little movie. It's not perfect and switches from night time to day in some places; not to mention the plot holes. And yet, it delivers everything it promises. Often when someone says "a film from The Asylum", people panic and run the other way. But, if you give "Android Cop" a chance, you're in for a treat. I give this movie eight out of ten stars.

The acting is excellent, The action is choreographed surprisingly good, Not John Wick levels, but much better than most recent action thrillers. There's also several twists that were not predictable, and if anyone says to you that they predicted them, They're lying. Punch them in the face, because these are not predictable twists, I'd say Saw levels of twists.

This was overall well written, and MJW does a fun performance. I could easily see this as a indy pilot film to attain a bigger budget, which a low budget is its only real flaw.

Definitely worth watch.

I bought this movie because it has three actors that I am very familiar with, one being in my top 10 favorites- Michael Jai White. I have read all of the comments. Yes, I do agree with many of the comments that is another ROBOCOP, but whether this movie is low budget, in your opinion, has nothing to do with the greatness of a movie. Yes, at the beginning, I thought ROBOCOP,but a 2014 Robocop in which many children can better understand, being that technology has definitely changed since the original Robocop was released in 1987. Android Cop has a different plot. Michael Jai White didn't know he was an Android Cop, which made the plot better. What he thought was reality, wasn't. In which all of us go through that on a daily basis- hence the continuous arguments that we have within all of our relationships. Robocop wasn't as helpful and detailed and tech savvy as Android cop. Robocop couldn't pull up bank records and other personal detailed information to know whether or not you, potential criminals or criminal, were threats for the particular issue. I would recommend this movie. It was well worth my money and will watch it again.

Same idea as "Almost Human" TV series though there is a lot less fun because acting is not that great. Jokes were not properly executed which makes the continuity of the movie unbearable at times. They tried to show a world of technology but they've shown close to none ( except for the android cop which cannot show all the technology by itself ). Villainious characters in the movie were not that hard and they should have been made a little better. Acting does improve by time but joke execution remains the same but the movie becomes bearable after sometime so its a plus. Storyline was good and above average but still was far off in showing advancements. Turns in the story are good to watch and in the end you feel good that the movie was not a complete waste of time. All in all a watchable flick.

I'm not sure why people are comparing this to Robocop. Maybe in 2014 there were very limited roles to compare it to, although the Data/Jordy buddy duo began in 1997; while not action stars, Data was comparable to Andy in intelligence gathering, strength and the poker faced comebacks that came across a comedic despite their somber truth. As I write this review in 2025, we now have a few others to compare it to, not the least of which is Outside the Wire (2021; Anthony Mackie).

While the initial impression in the opening scenes is cheap, B-level time waster, allowing the film a chance to pull you in gives a real payoff to intellectual sci-fi fans and should appeal greatly to the African American audience. Android Cop not only has role reversal with predominance of black and minority actors but exhibits an undeniable dose of prejudice, although toward the new breed of android cops who are white. The film uses it as part of the generous humor found here. It further points fingers at those who judge while, unbeknownst to them, actually being a part of the hated group.

The premise of a human mind inserted into an android or non human receptacle also differentiates this film from Robo Cop although also not completely novel in 2025 but still a profound and intriguing concept. Having the human host still alive lying dormant is fairly new in 2014 although a similar premise was seen in Avatar (2009).

The staging and costumes were not very inventive with a lot of Mad Max feel and there were no visible upgrades to the 2045 police uniform.

But this film is not to be dismissed as a ripoff or waste of time. I had a blast and some of the humor literally sent me.

Profound ideas, buddy humor, reverse sarcasm, good action.
