Computer-generated... In 1999 Los Angeles, an imprisoned ex-cop is given one last shot at redemption when he's turned loose to track down a virtual killer who has escaped the confines of cyberspace.

Shallow stuff, but the solid visual effects, decent stunts, and the work of Washington and Crowe make it watchable.

The presence of Washington lends the picture a much-needed dose of authenticity. But in the end Virtuosity is disconnected and uninvolving.

Despite the fact that it treads recycled waters, Leonard's film is an enjoyable ride.
