Trivass 32 out of 33 found this review helpful I'm not a huge fan of Russell Crow (not a great way to start a review on one of his films I know!) but watching this on TV the other night has altered my opinion!pThis film is a strange one, set in the future where the personalities of criminals have been merged into one Virtual reality criminal called Sid 6.7 (Russell Crow). He is used to train police officers in Virtual Reality so they can be more capable in the real world. They begin testing the programme on Criminals, one being an ex cop called Parker (Densel Washington)pHowever, Sid is so advanced that he is able to grow, learn and evolve. Assisted by his crazy creater, his programme is downloaded into a robot that looks completely human, but is virtual indesructable as it is able to repair itself be attaching itself to glass.pAs Sid starts to kill innocent people, Parker (the only person to come close to beating Sid in Virtual reality) is released from prison to help catch him. pAs Sid begins to play with Parker, Parker begins to realise that Sid's personality is identical to the man who killed his wife and child several years ago, which resulted in Parker being sent to jail!!!pQuite a complex plot, but Crow is fantasic as Sid as he is really quite sinister and scarey! He plays a sadistic, insane murderer with such ease that you can hardly believe he could ever play a good guy ever again!!!!pA rip-roaring adventure that transports you from virtual reality to reality with such skill and craft that you are left completely blown away and caught up in the action!pGreat film that I really enjoyed watching and will soon be buying the DVD for myself!!! I think this film can be easily enjoyed by anyone, as it has the same kind of theory behind is as The Matrix, but no-where near as confusing!pBrilliant!!! Excellent Futuristic thriller May 26, 2001 13 out of 14 found this review helpful The film is set in the future where implants of past humans are put into robots who look completely human, except for their ability to patch themselves up when they get shot ot injured.pThe film revolves mainly around the 2 characters of Sid and Parker and what has happened in the past, both want revenge on the other. Russell Crowe is excellent as Sid 6.7, he brings a real menace to the character.pWhat seems like reality soon gets twisted into virtual reality in a film with lots of twists and turns, plenty of action and a powerful soundtrack. Plenty of action, cool aesthetic, good acting. October 6, 2000 3 out of 3 found this review helpful This is a must see for all Denzel Washington's and Russell Crowe's fans! Although not too original, the futuristic plot on virtual reality and its possible dangers works swiftly throughout the movie. The film is packed with action, and it also contains high dosis of thriller and humour. Besides the special effects, which are very good and very wisely used (not abused); the film's best is Russell Crowe's composition of the virtual bad guy: a stylish, cool and wicked character doing his best to be bad. Enjoyable and different. January 25, 2009 Mrs. Lynsay Mills Enjoyable film with good twists to the plot and not too much technical information. Very watchable! Virtuosity November 1, 2009 A. C. Rattray An amazing film from an excellent idea. The future, virtual reality and the possibility that the most dangerous killer constructed can be set loose in the real world. Not only that, he is practically invinsible. Incorporating mass murder to great acting this film is an excellent choice for those that are into Sci-fi. Showing reviews 1-5 of 6 1 2 Next »
