Better story than I thought

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2005)

I thought this would be an all visual film, but it actually had a plot that made sense. A suicide possible murder happens in the building of the world's leading robot maker. A detective that doesn't trust robots to follow the 3 rules gets assigned to the case. The rules have to do with not harming humans, which one robot has been programmed to be out of the ordinary. His name is Sonny, and he is the key to the mystery. Spooner teams up with a hot chick to solve the case but for once a movie where the 2 leads aren't romantically linked.
The robots looked good. I was expecting them to look more like a cartoon, but they looked like they were 2-dimensional.
The clues lead to only more questions and finally to the person who is behind the robot take over. I didn't guess who it was so I found it some what suspenseful.
FINAL VERDICT: Good special effects and a story that is interesting but not that original. But I think it was good enough to recommend.
