My Father made me with purpose

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2014)

Hidden inside of an action movie are some really good questions:
1) What makes us human? 2) How much should we rely on or trust technology? 3) Are we made for a purpose?
Of course there is great action and a murder mystery to boot. The story is creative and fun to follow. Will Smith does his Will Smith thing with a little chip on his shoulder, but it works for this role. All the acting works but is not particularly memorable, which really attests to the excellence of the story.
Besides the ho-hum acting, a few things keep this from being a great movie. With technology being advanced as it was portrayed for the setting couldn't all of Spooner's claims have been checked (robot pulling gun on him, demolition bot attacking him, highway attack, etc...) surely someone could have said, "video from highway" and seen the proof. And if it was all erased by Viki that would be suspicious enough to side with Spooner.
Of course there are the impossible action sequences, but that is forgivable because it is an action movie not poetry hour at the coffee shop.
All in all a fun film to watch with more value than demerits. We do have a purpose! May the Maker reveal it to us all.
