Android Cop

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"

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

In the year 2037 Beverly Hills is part of a quarantine area. An earthquake occurred and there were three "future reactors" in the area which contaminated the land. The area has been taken over by drug lords and various homeless people because everyone wants to live in a poison zone when the beaches are all pristine. The story centers on Hammond (Michael Jai White) a police officer who operates outside of the box. He is assigned an android cop Andi (Randy Wayne) as a partner. Then the film gets weird, It seems the mayor's daughter (Larissa Vereza) is in a coma...her body anyway. Her consciousness is located inside an android that looks like her and is inside the quarantined area, one that has 14 drug lords and she doesn't know she is an android. Our team's job is to go get her and bring her back in the Asylum production of Robo Cop Escapes from LA. Now that is not it for the major twists, they do make it weirder with a few more. The film is supposed to be an action comedy with CG flames and guns that never need reloading. The dialog didn't make it.The humor was flat. Comparing an android to a soda machine was supposed to get a laugh. Surely they could have come up with something better than that. The action consisted mostly of bad gun play. I was bored. Kids might like it. Parental Guide: No sex, nudity, or F-bombs that I can recall.

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.

Most of us cringe when we see "the Asylum" made a movie. Yet this is pretty good. Good plot, good acting, and it's NOT Robocop, it really is not. It's a new set of ideas, and well done. I really like how the Android cop solved some of the situations without using violence. I also liked the Androids attempt to follow the law. The special effects are even good. The aircraft are interesting and unique. The music is so so. The android cop should have been a much better shot. Three guys stand there and the Android shoots dozens of times and misses?
