The presence of Washington lends the picture a much-needed dose of authenticity. But in the end Virtuosity is disconnected and uninvolving.
Top CriticThough Virtuosity connects all the dots to give audiences a roller-coaster ride, the movie begets nothing new: It's stillborn.
Virtuosity doesn't always compute, but like last summer's Speed, it is far more fully realized cinematically than many less commercial, more serious pictures.
Given Washington's presence and the promise of a virtual reality action story, Virtuosity has some appeal -- provided, of course, the viewers aren't selective.
The world of Virtuosity may be spanking new, but the ideas are yesterday's news.
Someone should tell Hollywood that the mass-killer genre is dead and that its virtual reality counterpart is already wheezing.
Shallow stuff, but the solid visual effects, decent stunts, and the work of Washington and Crowe make it watchable.
The worst movie that could possibly be made starring Crowe and Washington
Despite the fact that it treads recycled waters, Leonard's film is an enjoyable ride.
