Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Hi-tech meets High Noon in this deft science-fiction masterpiece from director Paul Verhoeven, which delivers on both violent action and satirical fronts. Peter Weller stars as the Detroit cop of the near future who is gunned down and resurrected as a cyborg. As his human memory begins to return, he sets about hunting down the gang responsible for his plight. With its scabrous dissection of American social issues, sitcom culture and corporate greed, Verhoeven's comic-book opus emerges as a subversive and thought-provoking edge-of-the-seat treat.
