Rating: Summary: You'll never go wrong with this one!!!!! Review: Sid 6.7 (Russell Crowe):Sidistic, Intellegent, and Dangerous. A composite of some 200 character personalities, everyone of them an infamous killer. Part of a virtual reality simulator used to train LAPD officers in the near future, until during one training exercise, Sid goes too far and kills a man for real. Fearing that he'll be shutdown, he escapes into the real world. Now only one man (Denzel Washington) can stop him, a former police officer who took the law into his own hands...and now holds the fate of many in them.Overall, a very entertaining, intrigueing roller coaster ride that doesn't let up from start to finish. Rated R for strong futuristic violence, some brutal beatings and some language. Like it matters to most anyway, but you never know. Just enjoy the film!!!
Rating: Summary: A Cult Classic that Requires a Second Viewing. Review: The Fact that Russell Crowe is such a Megastar now is Reason Enough to give this film a Second Viewing. Other Reasons Include Brilliant State-of-the-art Effects, (maybe not by Today's Standards) 2 Great Leading Actors, an Ingenious Story, an Above-Average Screenplay, a Cheer-Worthy Hero and The Most Unstopable Villian since Terminator 2's T-1000. Those are Just Some of the Reasons. Give it Another go, if not for me... Do it for Russell.
Rating: Summary: This is a great movie Review: The movie was awesome, there was plenty of action and Russell Crowe played his part very well. Also his butt looks pretty nice. Sorry I needed to add that. All in all the movie is a must see, must buy whatever.
Rating: Summary: Predictable with some interesting twists Review: The movies premise is that Virtual reality is used to train cops in the future, but the bugs aren't out yet. A programmer in his attempt to provide bad guys for the cops to catch, creates a super bad guy to train the cops. This super bad guy, somehow has the ability to exceed his programming and then the brilliant programmer (under this bad guy's influence) decides it would be a great idea to make him "real". Real meaning embodied in the read world via nano-technology. Denzel Washington is a jailed cop that has been done wrong via the system. Of course he is the convict that volunteers to try out these VR programs and when this super bad guy gets out, he's the one they call. Russell Crowe is magnificent as the oozing bad guy, he has the face and the body language that can inspire your dislike. A younger Kevin Spacey in that sense. The violence in this movie though it is not the blood and guts of other movies, was upsetting. Of course I have a weak stomach, but maybe it was the suddeness or "realness" of it. At the end, the good guy gets the bad guy, but in a cool way. It wasn't a bad movie, the premise was okay. You can see the "Robocop" influence where an industry centered around using technology to provide law enforcement is sometimes society's worst enemy. Not so much because the concept is bad, but the human aspect of misusing that concept is so likely. Denzel Washington does a decent job as the good guy, though this role does not stretch him at all. It was an okay movie, I would not watch it twice though.
Rating: Summary: A great action movie for Russell Crowe fans Review: This actioned packed movie is one of Denzel Washington's best action films that have been made. Its one of those films that you can watch over and over. I saw it at the movies and bought it as soon as it came out on DVD. Russell Crowe is absolutely evil but very cool as well. I hope they make a Virtousity 2. I own the Region 4 version which also allows you to watch the film in Spanish or English audio (as does a lot of Region 4 DVD's), I'm not sure though if the Region 1 version offered here has Spanish audio. In Australia many people by multiple region DVD players so it really does not matter to us where we buy our DVD's but people in the United States might like to check it out first if Spanish audio is important to you.
Rating: Summary: 2 stars just for the two oscar winning actors Review: This has got to be the biggest stinker in Denzel's long movie career, just after the oscar winning Philadelphia, he went on to star in this cult Sci Fi movie based on machines outsmarting mankind in a virtual reality game, Russel Crowe also stars in this very, and i mean very bad movie. But hey, if you're a Sci Fi fan, watch this, but don't expect high rated acting from any of the two big stars. On account, this movie didn't make any sufficent funds at the box office and was later labeled by the Hollywood critic, The Only Movie with Two Lead Star To Not Hit The Box Office. This low budget sleepy movie isn't worth watching, if you love Sci Fi, that outakes the life of machines aginst the human race, pick up a true 5 star Hollywood material like, 'A.I', 'Terminator' 'I', 'II', 'III' or Will Smith's new movie, 'I, Robot'.
Rating: Summary: Cartoon or Drama Review: This is a movie only the most devoted Russell Crowe fan could appreciate. All right, count me among them. Crowe hams it up shamelessly as the vicious android Sid 6.7 in a performance that would have fit right in to any Batman movie. Trouble is, everyone else in the cast is playing straight arrow. I was routing for Sid 6.7 all the way. Crowe's performance is fun; overall the movie is a silly melodramatic mess.
Rating: Summary: Russell made the picture Review: This is certainly not a best picture contender. I was glad to have it letterboxed on the disc. Wish the material could have been better for both the leads. The other minor characters did nothing to help the film.
Rating: Summary: worst movie ever Review: this movie came on HBO and i feel dumber for having watched the first 45 minutes. i spent 23 and a half minutes trying to figure out if what i was watching wasn't some sort of freeform hallucination brought on by bad chee-tos and warm kool aid. i spent the other 23 and a half minutes trying to figure out that if it was real, how on earth the director of this movie got both Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington to take part in this horrible waste piece of "filmmaking".
