Scifi action thriller that combines the police procedural formula with virtual reality that might have looked cutting edge in 1995. But it looks horrid now. Russell Crowe is having a blast as the villain, a digital serial killer suddenly free in the real world. Denzel Washington is one of the great leading men in Hollywood so he's alright I guess even if he has nothing to work with for his part. The movie has a cool idea but it's sloppily edited and moves too fast w/o time to breathe. Almost feels like it's been trimmed down or something.

I would actually rate this a 2.75 if I could. It has been a while since I've seen it and I remember certain scenes and that I liked the film over all.

Typically of Denzel's films, Virtuosity is a sci-fi thriller that's full of cyber-babble yet completely lacking in the kind of tongue-in-cheek humour that could've made it watchable. Russell Crowe tries hard as a gleeful and seemingly indestructible serial killer, but it's all far too ridiculous to be taken as seriously as it's presented.

This movie holds up well, the effects are still quite well done and this movie is just a very fun ride, you can't help but like SID 6.7 in a way.

As you can see on my profile page. I'm no fan of Crowe. However, this movie was pre-Crowe before he really became Crowe...? I guess. I enjoyed this movie. I think I actually went to see it in theaters (don't I know how I got in because at that time I was only 14). The idea was great. And for a 14 year old boy....nothing would be better than to have the opportunity to see computer images in real life (especially when you play a lot of video games.) Very good special effects for the time it was made. Enjoyable story and action....even pace of the flick. One of the weaker points of the movie was Kelly Lynch....I just couldn't get her character really. Didn't feel it at all.

I loved this movie when it first came out. The special effects were really cool and the fight scenes were great. Little did I know that both would become award winning actors. See it at your own risk as I have not seen it forever.
