In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing ROBOCOP (1987), from director Paul Verhoeven with a screenplay by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. In a city overrun by violent criminals, a newly transferred police officer, Alex Murphy (Peter Weller), is killed in the line of duty only to have his body transformed by a greedy and unscrupulous corporation into a cyborg enforcer of justice - RoboCop. This iconic 80s classic blends police drama with sci-fi elements, exploring themes of corporate greed, law enforcement, and humanity in a dystopian future. The film clocks in at 1 h and 42 m, is rated R and is currently streaming on Max but also to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
