  What if a really bad computer game villain (Crowe, so over-the-top he's fun) escaped into the real world and Washington's the only cop who can take him? Cops and bad guys battle it out in the future!

  Despite two of the biggest stars in the business, Virtuosity never is able to maintain any entertainment out of a decent premise. Denzel Washington is slumming here, and yet he still manages to make the movie watchable. Russel Crowe's villain is a virtual reality creation of about 200 different killers (from Jack the Ripper, to Charles Manson, and finally the guy who killed Denzel Washington's characters family) who escapes into the real world. Russel Crowe is completely defeated by the role. He has multiple personalities he has to incorporate and it makes his character uneven and at times hilariously over the top. I never felt for one minute like he was menacing or terrifying. Add in a mediocre production surrounding the two stars and a plot that doesn't do much and you have wasted potential. I expected more from this movie.

  Verging on ?So bad, it?s quite good? territory!

  A little too Sci-fi for me in that there were gadgets and effects for gadgets and effects sake. Personally I think this film is way below the standard of the acting capabilities of both Washington and Crowe. It fails completely in the excitement area.

  a dynamic duo with washington and crowe teaming up. a solid and underrated sci-fi flick.

  Oh man, the kind of cheesy bad-but-ocasionally-fun flicks that hollywood wouldn't dare to do these days. Crowe was actually fun to watch, instead of annoying as he usually is. The concept is actually not that bad, is just very poorly made. This also reminds me of that sci/fi… More
  Oh man, the kind of cheesy bad-but-ocasionally-fun flicks that hollywood wouldn't dare to do these days. Crowe was actually fun to watch, instead of annoying as he usually is. The concept is actually not that bad, is just very poorly made. This also reminds me of that sci/fi movie with Mick Jagger and Emilio Stevez. Another cinematic disaster that you just can't believe hollywood dared to make.

  Russell Crowe is a great villian but the film surrounding him is very thin.

• Lafe F

  
  A forgettable hi-tech thriller.

• Dean M

  
  Great futuristic action-thriller about a computer-generated killer breaks free of his cyberspace boundaries and wreaks all sorts of havoc and only one, jailed cop, is able to stop him. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe are superb.

  Sci-fi thriller that's full of cyber-babble that, typically of Denzel's films, is completely lacking in the kind of tongue-in-cheek humour that could've made it watchable. Russell Crowe tries hard as a gleeful and seemingly indestructable serial killer, but it's… More
  Sci-fi thriller that's full of cyber-babble that, typically of Denzel's films, is completely lacking in the kind of tongue-in-cheek humour that could've made it watchable. Russell Crowe tries hard as a gleeful and seemingly indestructable serial killer, but it's all too ridiculous to be taken as seriously as it's presented.

  Brett Leonard ought to be beaten repeatedly about the face and neck.

  Virtuosity was a big budget 90s film, that despite having a great cast, was a big flop. After I watched the film, it's fairly easy to see why. The premise of the film is that a police training, virtual reality serial killer, programmed with over 200 personalities, gets put into a robotic body and reeks havoc on LA. Having no one else to turn to, they turn to a famous cop in prison to catch him. The deal, catch Sid 6.7, get your freedom. It's a pretty cool idea, but after you get all the information in the beginning of the film, it turns into one big chase. That's it, a back and forth hunt, with no real substance, dialogue, or anything more than explosions and gun shots. The cast was excellent and if they had focuses more on the technology and the scientific aspects of it, the film would have been awesome, but instead it's just another plain, boring, shoot out.

  Cheesy fun, this is an underrated sci-fi/action gem. Denzel Washington gives a typically good performance. This is also Russell Crowe's movie debut, in which he goes all crazy as a rogue cybernetic experiment. The film boasts pretty good computer-generated effects for its time and some half-decent shootouts and other action sequences.

  A compelling story that took us through the looking glass into a terrifying world of cyber-danger and a deliciously over-the-top Russell Crowe plays the psychopathic killer with such an extravaganza it will make you smile (at least it made me smile). Parker Barnes (Denzel Washington) is the vengeance-ridden cop who has to stop this vicious killer but there's a twist because Crowe isn't human, but a computer- generated creation made for human likeness, and fitted with 200 personalities of the most notorious criminals imaginable. Reasonably entertaining fun and mindless bit of escapism!
