Summary: Boring hero, captivating villian
Review: It's been said already but Russell Crowe definitely saved this movie. He, as Sid 6.7, was like the T-1000 from Terminator 2 with a personality... and the best lines in the film. It's definitely worth at LEAST renting for this performance. However, Denzel and the rest are mind-numbing to watch, and could have at least put in some effort. They ultimately drag this film down.

Summary: Mediocrity
Review: It's curious that Russell Crowe has become the sex symbol that he has since Gladiator--in this movie he's pretty creepy--he reminded me of an evil Peter Gabriel crossed with a sadistic Elvis, without the rhinestone jumpsuit. Others have said plenty about the plot, but there were holes in it that you could drop a supercomputer through. Why, for example, does the good head cop have to tell the other cops IN PERSON not to try to kill Denzel Washington's character? We've got technology enough to create a being from nanobots, but we can't even pick up a phone or a radio. Sheesh. And frankly I am sick to death of watching mere mortals outrun automatic weapons fire. There was a pretty good plot twist near the end that was well done and unexpected--and it was nice that the director let us figure out what was going on from the context rather than have implausible dialogue or unnecessary scenes--that was the highlight of the movie. Special effects were pretty good-obviously we were supposed to be paying attention to that rather than the plot. Overall, I'd recommend renting this one instead of buying--save your money for Matrix, a much better movie.

Summary: Lynch Special, Effects Dazzling
Review: Kelly Lynch adds a special touch to this sci-fi blitz, but then she's always good. But this is an effective sfi-dazzler to perk up a quiet Saturday night of popcorn.

Summary: Jeepers, folks... Dreadful movie, but ...
Review: Mr. Denzel and Mr. Russell do their very best to make it as valid as possible. Does not work, and except for Mr. Denzel's dreads, Mr. Russell's nudidity and over the top big-bad fun... it is a knee-jerk slick Hollywood piece of B film fluff... But I enjoyed it. It made me laugh out loud and long at least twice... The 'Staying Alive' bit is perfecto. As good as the 'Smells like Teen Spirit' bit in "Moulin Rouge".

Summary: Brett Leonard does it again
Review: No less than the Lanwmower man again, but far more funny and powerful due to the perfect team Washington/Crowe. Even if the plot is thin ice, the story is so entertaining you must forget the basic idea (an android unleashed from from a computer strikes !)is not that well used. These 2 wonderful actors just seem to have a big time and so are you. Buy it and you'll never get Sid 6.7 out of your mind.

Summary: VIRTU-SNORRRRRRE-ITY
Review: Pretty boy Denzel Washington in another bland, boring, icy attempt at an action flick where the villain's more charismatic than he is (remember Ricochet?)

Summary: Crowe & Washington
Review: Russell Crowe darn near steals the movie from Denzel. Crowe plays his part perfectly. One gets fasinated by his evil character. A five start performance for Crowe. Denzel gives his usual solid treatment to his character in this one. I would like to see Denzel take a part that forces him to stretch and test his talent. He is a solid performer that can do so much more.

Summary: Crowe steals the show
Review: Russell Crowe is fantastic and steals the spotlight away from Denzel Washington who also does a fine job in this futuristic movie. I will be the first to admit that the storyline is not the greatest but the entertainment value is excellent. Russell Crowe (Sid 6.7) is a computer generated bad guy who needs all the attention that he can find. The only man for the job is Denzel Washington who is sent on a mission to find and destroy Sid 6.7. That is a tough problem because Sid can rebuild himself similiar to the Terminator. The more attention that Sid receives the more outrageous he becomes. Kelly Lynch also stars as Denzels partner. DVD sound and picture is very good.

Summary: Virtually Forgetable
Review: Russell Crowe's gleefully demonic Sid 6.7 is the only thing about this film that makes it worth seeing. Everything else about it is a disappointment. Denzel Washington's long suffering cop performance gets tedious after about a half hour. I found myself wishing Sid would put him out of his misery.
