Robocop

Director
Paul Verhoeven
Certificate
18
Running Time
103 mins

Back in 1987, lily-livered liberals came over all guilty about enjoying Paul Verhoeven‘s ultra-violent satire on American consumerism, corporate culture and the militarisation of policing. Peter Weller is on excellent form as a future Detroit cop who finds himself resurrected as a law-enforcement cyborg.

It’s back on screen in the Everyman’s Saturday late night season of cult classics.
