A revisionist view of "Starship Troopers" February 27, 2015 8:06 pm hank

The original “Robocop” gave us plenty of warning about where Verhoeven’s head was really at. Great minds think alike, I’m happy to see this reviewer agrees with my take on the film adaptation of the Heinlein classic, one of the great cinematic send-ups of all time. If the boot camp melodrama didn’t give it away, then the Neil Patrick Harris leather SS trench coat and peaked cap should have.
