Android Cop

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.

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.

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.

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.
