robocop is a great science fiction story about corruption and the abuse of corporate power.
paul verhoeven's direction is great and while i don't think the criminal aspect and criminal characters are interesting themselves, they help the greater evil be more developed.
also i would've liked to see more of murphy's family.watch my films

In a violent, near-apocalyptic Detroit, evil corporation Omni Consumer Products wins a contract from the city government to privatize the police force. To test their crime-eradicating cyborgs, the company leads street cop Alex Murphy into an armed confrontation with crime lord Boddicker so they can use his body to support their untested RoboCop prototype.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutally effective satire wrapped in visceral action, where a murdered cop reconstructed as a cyborg police weapon discovers his humanity while toppling the corrupt forces that created him. It's simultaneously a propulsive thriller and a searing critique of privatization and institutional evil.
