RoboCopPresented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre September 21, 2012 “RoboCop set the tone for much of Dutch auteur import Paul Verhoeven’s career in America, and not just because of Kurtwood Smith’s curt command “Bitches leave!” It was a relatively low-budget, high-concept satire in the guise of a relatively high-budget, low-concept trash-a-thon.
But it was so broad about its satiric aims—privatized, corporate America buying and selling not only the populace’s safety, but also its endangerment, thereby... | The Colonial Theatre | 09/21/12 | Phoenixville |
