Ryan McGoo

Having watched this again recently, I found a lot of aspects of it very good, Kinnaman woefully underused as Murphy the “human” inside the machine was my major gripe, I loved the futuristic use of machines and the ED209 was great, sections of the movie were a little meh and compared to the original the brutality of what Detroit was, this was missing, the villains you didn’t care for and those sections felt very tv movie as did the training scenes. It could have been a lot better whilst also could have been a lot worse, certain characters met their fate a little too simple and the ending just didn’t satisfy, for me it’s a good 6/10.

I enjoyed this crime drama, funny in parts and was decent enough to watch without boredom. Reminded me a lot of far better shows in The Killing/Forbrydelsen with very similar stories though. The building love story was a nice side story too. It’s not anything new or outstanding but it’s watchable and nice to see a main character not carved from marble.
