Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

John Ferguson

In this efficient but rather empty retread of the original, Peter Weller returns as the cyborg policeman patrolling the mean streets of Detroit. Daniel O'Herlihy, ostensibly the good tycoon from the first film, becomes the bad guy this time around when he teams up with psycho Tom Noonan (Manhunter) to destroy his company's creation. It's once again a spectacularly violent affair and the satirical news items still provide a chuckle or two, but, sadly, under Irvin Kershner's stolid direction, it lacks the gloriously black excess of Paul Verhoeven's first film. Nevertheless, it has proved to be a very serviceable franchise; a second sequel, a children's animated series and a live-action TV spin-off followed.
