Movie Review: Robocop

Brilliant sci-fi movie, well-thought and fantastic from various perspectives.

The movie makes a point at different levels. At the physical level by being a plain revenge-drama. At the social level of making a case of where to draw the line of privatisation and automation. At the metaphysical level of longetivity of the subconscious, even beyond physical death.

The sarcasms on our daily double-standards are hilarious and in a way, ahead of it's time! In a sense, the director took a risk by creating a soul, but succeeded by elevating, what would otherwise have been a plain-jane action movie.
