Film Review - Robocop (1987)

Robocop was first released in 1987 and stars Peter Weller as a Detroit police officer named Alex Murphy who is killed in the line of duty and later put into a cybernetic body and codenamed Robocop, which will be used to clean up the crime infested streets of Detroit, but Clarence Boddicker played by Kurtwood Smith has other ideas.

In my opinion, this would rank as one of my favourite action Sci-Fi films of the 80’s, director Paul Verhoeven pushes the boundary of violence on screen whilst writers Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner create a script that works just as well today as it did 21 years ago, if not more so than back then.

Out of 5 I’m going to give it a full five stars, as the movie works well despite its age.
