WeWatchFilms presents: ROBOCOP: Director’s Cut

It’s the not-too-distant future in crime-ridden Old Detroit. A corporate conglomerate is running the city and has developed a huge metal android to combat rampant street crime. When their creation demonstrates a murderous “glitch,” Robert Morton sees an opportunity to advance his company position by building a better cop machine. He gets his chance when street cop Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) is brutally killed by a gang of sadistic hoodlums. Murphy’s body is reconstructed by technicians and dubbed Robocop.

Starring Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O’Herlihy

“What follows is a blast of an action movie that still manages to be funny, touching, and has one of the best ending lines of any movie ever. Really.” – Decider

“When the law-enforcing RoboCop cleans up corrupt Motown, his victory is satisfying because he’s got machinery and morals on his side. RoboCop is where high-tech meets High Noon.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
