About the movie:

RoboCop is a 1987 action movie about a cyborg police officer created to control the Motor City known as Detroit which has been ruled by criminals and a gang of cop killers. It is both an action and science fiction movie that features advanced science and cybernetics.

The
movie stars Peter Weller as RoboCop, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer. RoboCop was directed by Dutch Film director Paul Verhoeven.

Robocop
is about a good police officer that was brought back to life after being killed by a feared gang leader in Detroit. The Omni Consumer Products (OCP) that runs Detroit Police Department, offers a new solution against the well-armed criminals in the city by building an almost inexterminable ED 209 robot combining the body of Murphy with high-tech gadgets and weaponry to dispatch the city criminals. The scientists rewire Murphy's brain with computer chips for communication control and a self-organization system that blocks up his memories. However, his former partner, Officer Lewis recognized RoboCop's body which started to reveal his true identity.

RoboCop
film has a well-written plot and action-packed stunts, a very fitting entertainment for the action movie aficionados.

It's also entertaining that there's a heartbreaking scene in this
movie where RoboCop visits his former house without the chance of getting back what he had left before.

This may be the first high-profile movie directed by Verhoeven but it was directed well with a sense of smooth style and appeal that made RoboCop a great
action movie. By its good remarks, it is considered as one of the best action movies of its genre and it was followed by movie sequels and the RoboCop TV series.
