It's like RoboCop, except the robots are villains helping human villains villain more comprehensively.

Oops lol, hadn't seen it since I was a kid over 30 years ago so I guess I'm more than a little fuzzy on the details, broad strokes, and the everything else of it 😂

The least realistic part of Robocop is that the cops were still trying to be good people.

In your defense, it's a coke-fueled nightmare with so many story points that it can easily be confused for 3 separate movies.

In offense to me, I think the remake has a better foundation and better acting and only suffers from trying to appease a wider audience.
