Android Cop
It is evident that Android Cop served as an opportunistic imitation of the 2014 sequel to the original RoboCop movie. This is fairly blatant from the design of the Android Cop to the fact that it even produces the same sound servo whine effect during motion that was characteristic with the Robocop movies. While most of The Asylums groaners, Android Cop does not work two nasty. The storyline develops futuristic when Los Angeles has disintegrated into a gang controlled borderland zone which in itself seems even more fascinating than the Chicago of Robocop the future depicted in the movies.
Although it appears that Android Cop misses some of the satirical qualities of the movies, it is safe to say that it takes the concept of a brutal journey through gang territory from the 1982 film 1990 Bronx Warriors, which in its value was an attempt to combine Escape From New York (1981) with The Warriors (1978). Another very clichéd idea is the daughter of the absent mayor, which originates from Escape from L.A. and the interaction between the cop and his hair-splitting android wife, who is driven straight to the point is quite similar to the contexts of the recent popular series Almost Human.
Humor is what helps make the Android Cop film work. Recall, for instance, the time when Randy Wayne talked down a potential jumper. He simply asked the man if he wanted to be an organ donor. There is also a funny part where the trio played by Michael Jai White, Randy Wayne, and Jay C. Brothers take turns playing good cop and bad cop and Wayne is able to break up the fight. White uses brute force and advances the idea that Brothers should file a cop abuse report. Halfway through the ordeal, they manage to trick Brothers into providing the information they want.
Michael Jai White, an absolute non-actor, largely, takes his time looking furious throughout the film just like Ice Cube in all his films, figured with one trademark glare. The character performed by White is humorless, but in his own comedic way, he is able to embody that character.
Mark Atkins provides his audience with decent B-action movie. The budget, however, hinders the science fiction. As far as Los Angeles is concerned, the auto motives, style of clothing or the skyline are all depressing in that they try to predict a future with LA which means an LA with little imagination in its cosmetic rehabilitation.
Still, the movie does present some interesting cybernetic concepts such as the ridiculous premise of a frozen human consciousness in a robotic body that belongs to the mayor’s daughter. On the other hand, it is hard to believe the final Philip K Dick eques plot twist in which, Michael Jai White’s character which was a human police officer, turns out to be an android unaware of his condition.
