Helpful Score: 1


A clever blend of film noir meets sci fi. The hero, a down on his luck robot, the creation of a mad scientist, is just trying to get by as working stiff...but when his neighbors get kidnapped by a couple of thugs, he turned detective to crack the case. This is by and large comedy,paying homage to old detective flicks, not serious sci fi, aka Bladerunner, but it has action, mystery, and humor set in a paralell universe, where humans,mutants,aliens and robots all co exist.
