A police officer almost dies in the course of duty, but is converted into a cyborg.

When it came out I was given the impression that it would be bad, especially compared to the original, but it was fair. Not good, but fair.

A remake of RoboCop - (1987 movie)

A cop's early investigation into a police fund theft has him killed, leaving his framed hostage-negotiator partner to use the only tool he has available to find the real killer.

A really great movie with a unique topic. Recommended.

Something about a crime and lawyers and a court and stuff, but with racism.

Not my thing.

based on A Time to Kill - (1988 book), by John Grisham

A non-superhero girl is out for revenge, boring the audience to tears.

It has Samuel, but not enough of him to make this a watchable film.

Some people with accents drive a carriage through the snow and talk a lot.

Oh god, this was supposed to be good? If it can't get interesting in the first half an hour then why in the fuck should I continue watching?

Kids are trained as secret agents and assassins, but one girl wants a normal life.

This is a cutesy teen movie. Complete bubblegum. Not to be mistaken for a spy movie. That notion would risk heavy offence from so much hollow girlishness.

Maybe if you liked braindead teen flicks you'd be into this. I don't, so I wasn't.
