Paul Verhoeven
Paul Verhoeven is a Dutch filmmaker known for his provocative and controversial films, including 'Robocop,' 'Basic Instinct,' and 'Showgirls.' His collaborations with Mario F. Kassar during the early 1990s helped define the era's action cinema, although he was not directly involved with 'Cutthroat Island,' the film that is often cited as a cautionary tale in Hollywood's history of blockbuster failures.
