Our suggestions
Set in old Detroit, a crime-ridden ghetto of the not too distant future, a cop killed in the line of duty is robotized then dispatched to fight crime. But Robocop is haunted by memories and dreams of who and what he used to be. As he rediscovers his past, he uncovers a murder conspiracy at the highest level of police management.
"One of the great action films of the 1980s - mainly because, in addition to the basics, it deals with topics such as the power of the media, gentrification, corruption, authoritarianism, privatization, greed, identity, human nature... A true package of criticism and doses of realism wrapped in a paper of science fiction. If you didn't notice all this the first time you watched it, it's time to watch it again."
