Robocop (1987) starring Peter Weller, Nancy Allen. Near-future Detroit cop Murphy (Weller) is killed by bad guys, but takes on new life when doctors give him a robotic body. This movie is filled with dark humor as the Detroit police department is taken over by a corrupt private company. There's lots of cartoonish violence as Robocop pursues bad guys, all the while suffering from flashbacks to memories of his former life when he had a wife and child. Allen provides appealing support as Lewis, the female cop who figures out that it's Murphy inside the Robo-suit. An enjoyable outing, though lacking in subtlety. Grade: B+
