Pretty engaging and interesting and enjoyable movie about robots taking over human functions; one of the functions being the police force in this South African city.
Dev Patel (the highly annoying Sonny from the exotic marigold hotel movie; he was more contained in this film plus his on-air time was much less than in the hotel movie) is creating a robot who can think and feel and make decisions just like a human. Hugh Jackman (sporting an awful nerdy haircut) is in competition and instead wants a robot (his prototype is named Moose) who is controlled by a human.
And there is a horridly bad and evil group of ne'er-do-well's who kidnap Dev because their intention is to use the robot (who they name Chappie) to help with a bank heist. The trio of baddies are really pretty likable especially the female who Chappie calls Mommy (pronounced in his metallic monotone Mummy.)
The action was quick and non-stop and even though there were quite a few cheesy and corny parts; all in all, it was a good story with a great ending.
