Soylent Green Movie Review 1973

In the 21st Century, hard-boiled police detective Heston investigates a murder and discovers what soylent green--the people's principal food--is made of. Robinson's final film is a disappointing end to a great career. Its view of the future and of human nature is relentlessly dark. Don't watch it with kids.
