RoboCop

 



 Before we begin I think it it important to clarify this is a review of the 1987 film and not the abomination of 2014.

  This Paul Verhoeven Sci Fi/action movie is a gritty and gruesome affair.  We follow Officer Alex J. Murphy played by Peter Weller, he has just been transferred to a new precinct.  Set in the near future of a crime ridden Detroit.  RoboCop is so over the top and out of control, it speaks of a future where big companies will run the governmental defence.  Those times are upon us more and more everyday.  Paul Verhoeven has made one of the most iconic science fiction films ever made and it's a brilliant piece of cinema.  Ultra-violent throughout, there is a strong cast including Kurtwood Smith as Clarence Boddicker and Ronny Cox as Dick Jones.  This film is a cult classic and should be owned by all.  It has a half decent sequel and lets not mention anymore...

A solid 8 out of 10
