Robot and Frank (2012).

Robot and Frank uses the Japanese robot, designed to assist the elderly which in development, fast forwarded to a time when it is fully functional. Frank (Langella) is a thief, who specialised in high end jewelry. When his son gives him a robot (Peter Sarsgaard), he quickly realises that he can use him to help him commit crimes and take him back to his younger days. Feeling invigorated by the challenge, the robot tried to talk him out of it, but eventually, his age and his memory problems get the better of him.

The film is mildly entertaining, with a little humour, particularly when the robot meets with another robot and their encounter is underwhelms their owners. Their attempts to insert a little anthropomorphic projection into their relationship fails miserably.

I stopped this film after half an hour, then resumed it again later on, which is often a sign that it was failing to maintain my interest. But it was a mild mannered, gentle film which ticked along at a slow but leisurely pace. I give it 3 out of 5. Not bad.
