Review of RoboCop

RoboCop (1987)
10/10
Incredibly ahead of its time
7 December 2021
Paul Verhoeven was meticulously particular about how he created this movie. From practical effects, intense character building to intrusive shadowing of the lead's emotions.

Robocop could be taken as a few different genres. But mostly, this movie is a psychological revenge thriller. It bundles much more into it without forcing narrative and/or messaging.

Much of what is in this movie has come to fruition. It simply predicted our future and an unquenchable addiction to technology, looking to it to resolve issues within society with a debilitating conclusion.

Overall, RoboCop involves several key elements for an action-sci-fi including incredible pyrotechnics and practical effects, applause worthy acting, unrivalled character building and most of all - a story yet to be dismounted.

RoboCop is a movie with something to offer everyone.
