    Victoria L. is Quite Right

    "RoboCop" was one of the best films of the 1980s. By turns hilarious, poignant, violent and sophisticated, there have been few films like it in the 20 years since its release. Also, Paul Verhoeven deserves much more than the back-handed praise given to him by O'Hehir. Much more.
