Robocop (1987)
Country: US
Technical: col 103m
Director: Paul Verhoeven
Cast: Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith
Synopsis:
In a US city of the future the law enforcement community attempts to install robots to do battle with the vicious criminals on their streets, but fail until one of their wounded officers provides the organic raw material for a humanoid version of the same.
Review:
Heavy-handed B-movie satire of contemporary deracinated society à la Death Race 2000; the laughs are for the stomach-hardened, the violence of an extreme brand reminiscent of European comic strips. The film set a new standard, post-Terminator, of what in aesthetic, practical and ethical terms could be done to people on screen.
