Robocop

Robocop was directed by Paul Verhoeven in 1987. Verhoeven is also credited with directing "Starship troops (1997)" and "Total recall (1990)".

Robocop explores themes of justice, revenge, corruption and capitalism. In particular the film looks at the impact of cooperate  and individual greed has on a society when that individual is in a position of power.

While the film is entertaining, it isn't something I would sit down for an engaging and thoughtful experience. The film tries to come off as serious but ends up just being silly. There are a lot of one liners that just come off as taking the piss. As a "serious" movie, the film does not stand up as there are just to many things that seem silly or forced. If your looking for a bit of a laugh and mindless violence/ gore, then this would be a good film. However its themes are ones that are simply better done by other films such as "Alien".
