I’d buy that for a dollar! One of the best science fiction action films of all time, Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop has only continued to gain prescience in a world of robot dogs, cop cities, and corporate overreaches. In a near-apocalyptic Detroit saturated with crime and violence, the evil corporation Omni Consumer Products aims to privatize the police force and implement the use of crime-fighting cyborgs. When street cop Alex Murphy is shot in the line of duty, they use what’s left of his body to fuse with steel to create an unstoppable machine. As subversive as it is thrilling and chilling – it’s an explosive triumph of genre cinema, so don’t miss it Big, Loud, and with a Crowd!
