Science fiction movies

Runaway
   It's old and it shows.  I think it took the name from an Isaac Asimov book, which it has nothing to do with.  It has robots and that's all it has in common.
   Tom Selleck is police officer Jack Ramsey.  He's afraid of heights and good with robots.  He gets a new partner and a new case.  A housekeeper robot goes amok and kills everyone in house except the baby.  But that's only a matter of time.  So Jack goes in to take out the robot.  When the lab is studying it, they find an unexplained chip.  Before anyone can touch it, it explodes. 
    The father of the rescued baby disappeared before it was even rescued.  Jack doesn't think that's an accident.  He investigates and finds out there are more chips.  These chips turn robots into killers.  When it's put into a bullet, it turns it into a heat seeking missile that can be programmed for a specific person.  It's literally a bullet with your name on it. 
    It's not the best sci-fi movie.  My husband hated it and thought it was boring.  I liked it.  I'm not sure why, but I did enjoy it.  Gene Simmons as the bad guy was perfect.  He is severely creepy.  He looks right at the camera and it just gives you chills, it feels like he's looking right at you.
