Summary: Superb special effects and 1st Class acting by Rusell Crowe
Review: This movie commands your attention throughout. Russell Crowe's rivoting performance overides Denzel Washington in the starring role -- Russell Crowe's name should have received top billing! And Kelly Lunch adds a little spice as Denzel's voluntary partner. This is one movie I will watch again...

Summary: Confusing story to follow,but at least Russell Crowe shines!
Review: This movie is a very confusing story to follow as the viewer does not where reality and virtual reality begins or ends! Virtuosity has hints of the Lawmower Man and the Marix. The cast does the best with the material they have !At least in this movie Russell Crowe(The Insider,Mystery,Alaska,L.A Confidential) shines a the killer Sid 6.7 ! Even though this movie is confusing you can watch this movie and see just how far Russell Crowe has come to finally get his Oscar Nomination(too bad he did not win! ) in his acting range! This movie should be fans of Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington only! Also co-starring in this mess of are the following stars: Kelly Lynch(Heaven's Prisoners), Stephen Spinella(The Jackal),William Forsythe(The Rock,Fire Storm) and Louise Fletcher(Invaders from Mars,High School High)!

Summary: it's so bad it's great!
Review: this movie is terrific, in so many aspects of the word. first of all, this movie made Russell Crowe one of my favorite actors, up there with Kevin Spacey and Edward Norton. in this movie Russell Crowe plays this video game character who gets himself into the real word, and hes one sedistic guy. he has all the greatest lines in the movie, and when he laughs (which he does all the time) it's so fantastic it makes me laugh.next, the soundtrack is a great one. im not exactly sure what the hell Peter Gabriel is doing on it, but ok. he's a good artist, but doesnt mold well with the techno music. it has juno reactor, lords of acid, william orbit... some of my favorite artists. the action sequences are great. dont get me wrong, that one at the end was sort of stupid (on the tv station roof when denzel just keeps shooting crowe, and their fight had lots of matrix-like aspects to it. maybe the directors of matrix took some ideas and made them better.) all the other ones were great. in the beginning at the chinese resturant, that wasn't bad. and at the techno rave, teeheehee. finally, this is a movie i have on vhs, but i bought on DVD just a while back from Suncoast just because i like it so much. back before i had it on dvd, i would be bored just waiting to do something, and i'd put in virtuosity, mainly for that beginning sequence. literally, no kidding either, i would be sitting there watching the prision fight scene and the next conscious thing my brain tells me about the movie is that it's the rooftop fight already. thats how this movie goes. some might make say that makes it a no-brainer, but i liked it and i recommend it. one of my favorites, just be warned that a LOT of people probably hate it or will hate it. its more of a cult movie, only its not, you know?

Summary: VERY INTERESTING
Review: This movie takes you on a rollercoaster ride. It was so exciting and no matter how many times you see it, it's still just as exciting

Summary: It's something-somthing
Review: To put it kindly, this movie needed a lot of work. Plot was iffy, dialogue was just pure drivel, characters were sooooo not believeable (Kelly Lynch was annoying, irritating, and just about everything that would deserve a Razzie). Truly, the only thing good about this movie was Russell Crowe. But if you like him, see him in another movie that actually makes sense (i.e. The Insider, Gladiator, L.A. Confidential, Romper Stomper etc...) and save your money.

Summary: A Simple Review for a simple film
Review: Virtuosity is a fun movie, the cg (computer graphics) is good for its time, the acting is fitted well, the concept is of a great distopia, and the overall (for myself that is) is pretty good.
The plot has been written, and rewritten by others so I'll it go.
I found this film really fun and the action is cool. Although this really isn't an action film. It carries messages and "symbolism".
The quality of the dvd is nice and sharp. Good job folks.

Summary: Better than most of the 1995 crop of cyber-spam
Review: Virtuosity isn't a brilliant movie, but it is at least somewhat innovative and entertaining from end to end. More than can be said for similar fare like "Hackers" or "The Net." Denzel Washington, as always, is a very good actor, and Kelly Lynch is competent if flaky, but the movie is stolen by Russell Crowe's psychotic performance as Sid 6.7. His antics make Virtuosity worth watching, especially the Saturday Night Fever reference.

Summary: I LOVE IT

Summary: What a great character!
Review: When I say this in the title, I am speaking of Sid 6.7, not the hero. Even before he was Maximus and starring in such good films as The Insider and Proof of Life, Russell Crowe proved in this film that he had a true charisma. Sid is brutal, fun, and brilliant. He is by far the best aspect of this film. However, Denzel Washington doesn't really have much to do, and it is too bad. After all, he played the "good guy" in Fallen and was brilliant. But in this film he flounders. It's often been said that the villian is always the most interesting character, and this is true of Virtuosity. The story is pretty far-fetched, and sometimes makes you say, "Yeah, right. I call BS." But if you can get past this and some of the pretty bad effects, this is actually a good film. It stays within its genre and plays it pretty well, but without Sid 6.7, the movie would be lost. Give it a chance to see the start of a great actor, but don't expect to see a brilliant piece of work. It's normal, and that's just fine with me.

Summary: Well Made and Fun
Review: While the film was panned by critics, it turned out to be one of the bettera action films of the year. Yes it's a tad campy but Virtuosity is filled with some excellent action sequences. The film has a visual style that is both modern and futuristic and this works well. It feel real enough but still manges to be imaginative. Denzel Washington does a fine job as he does in nearly every film but the real star is Russel Crow. I remember how wowed I was by his performance back in 1995 and think that he would one day be a huge star. I was right. Virtuosity is worth checking out if you wanna see a well done Sci Fi/Action film.
