The increasingly blurry lines between what is real and what is an artificial construct - both physically and philosophically - are the point of focus in the science fiction drama The Thirteenth Floor. In 1937, a man named Fuller (Armin Mueller-Stahl) gives a note to Ashton (Vincent D'Onofrio), the bartender at a swank hotel, that's addressed to Douglas Hall (Craig Bierko). Fuller tells Ashton it's crucial that no one else sees the note, and that the information enclosed is of great importance.

[A] stylish but overplotted and ultimately illogical combination of science fiction, mystery and romance.
A marvelous film right up until its inappropriate ending leaves you feeling betrayed.
As cold and sterile as a piece of machinery.
I've seen better murder mysteries and better virtual reality movies. The Thirteenth Floor is only average.
Extras on the disc include a full-length audio commentary by director and co-writer Josef Rusnak and production designer Kirk Petruccelli.
based on the Daniel Galouye book "Simulacron 3," first published in the 1960s. ...High-tech and hippie-dippy philosophies go together about as well as chocolate ice cream and brown mustard.
Rehashes every Star Trek: The Next Generation episode where the holodeck goes haywire.
The film starts strong presenting a captivating scenario, then somewhere in the second half dips into a sappy romance.
Furthur speculation on the Frankenstein hypothesis, namely: does the thing created to emulate life actually possess a soul? A computer programmer is suspected of murdering his employer, but did he? The only clue is in the new project - untested as of yet, in this piece that borrows style from Blade Runner, Dark City

The Thirteenth Floor, what was I thinking when I watched this Movie at first? There is really no point in the Movie. This is weird.
