Have we truly run completely out of new ideas to the point where every single eighties movie must be rebooted in this decade? This one is not the best, but at least it's somewhat watchable. Severely hindered by its PG-13 rating and lack of fun, this movie still manages to capture a little bit of the creepiness that Verhoeven was known for. Most notably, when the main character sees what original parts of himself are still intact underneath the robo-suit, I did get chills. I also enjoyed the discussion about free will being an illusion throughout the film.
