AI gone ballistic February 16, 2008 Margret A. Williams (Sparks, Nevada United States) This is a replacement for the VHS tape I had. I love this movie. It has two of my favorite actors in it (Denzel and Russell). I love to watch this movie because it makes me think of the future and how computers and machines could ruin our lives.

I am a Denzel Washington fan. I kinda like Russell Crowe. This movie is to be avoided if you don't want to taint your impression as actors. Absolutely a horrible movie, rotten script, bad directing, waste of two good actors... kinda cool idea, though, of using nano technology to give life to a virtual entity - I'd like to see Lawnmower man exit his virtual cage via this gimick. Anyway, I put this in the same category as Escape from LA. To be avoided at all costs. No matter the cheap price.
Okay, But Not Great Sci-Fi Thriller April 12, 2007 Terence Allen (Atlanta, GA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
With Virtuosity having Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, you would think, or at least hope that this would be an all-time classic. But instead, this film is a fairly solid, not bad, but not great film, where special effects and an overwrought screenplay almost upend two of the best actors of our generation. In Virtuosity, a world of the future has developed a novel way to train police officers. They take a computer program and imbue it with the personalities of over 100 serial killers, and put officers into virtual reality training using the model, known as SID 6.7. As these things tend to go in science fiction films, artificial intelligence runs amok, and Sid 6.7 implants himself in an android and goes on a rampage. The only solution to thwart SID 6.7 is using an ex-cop, Parker Barnes, who been in jail for a while to catch. The rest of the film is a cat-and-mouse chase between SID, played by still largely unknown Crowe and Barnes, played by Washington. The film has cool special effects, an interesting plot, and two great actors anchoring the movie. But the script weighs things down, and the ending confrontation seems to go on forever. This film is not bad, but it could have been a lot better.
Role Reversal December 7, 2006 SBLove99 (New Orleans, La.) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Now if Denzel would have got to cut loose like Russell Crowe did in this one, American Gangster would have been a much more exciting movie.
Always Been A Classic November 2, 2006 Sean Davis (St Louis, MO) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I believe this movie was light years ahead of it's time when it was made, great concept, awesome story line, and top dollar actors. Possibly the greatest movie ever, depending on what kind of movies you like. If you like action and technology in your movies with a little bit of suspense then you've come to the right place, buy this movie. You won't be disappointed.
