As a child of the mid-90s I was always aware of the film Robocop. And yet with Terminator and the cold war between Arnie and Sly overshadowing the 80s action scene in my eyes I somehow let this one slip by me.
I'm amazed. Not only is it a great film for all the usual trappings - good action, good acting, decent premise.... This movie is one of the funniest I've seen in years.
The satire isn't something I was expecting at all, and seems so precinct today. I didn't realise it was direct by Paul Verhoven (Starship Troopers) but it makes so much sense.
3 minute news almost feels generous given how much of my personal news comes from TikTok.
