-/+Massively corny dialogue from multiple 'b' actors.
-/+Divisive militaristic fascist ideology viewed through a satirical/comedic lens.
This film blew my teenage mind on release and frankly it aged like fine wine getting better as my home cinema setup improves. It is the very reason to get a large screen/surround setup. Verhoeven trades I the storys potential for nuance for in your face satire (a choice famously misunderstood by critics and marketing at the time of its original release). Superb stuff! Especially for sci-fi/action nerds.
