Virtually no virtues


Virtusoity (1995)

Directed by Brett Leonard this techno thriller stars Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe and Kelly Lynch. A serial killer program from a police training virtual reality simulator manages to escape into the real world.

Unfortunately it is hard to take this film seriously despite it's science fiction elements not being that bad because the plot indulges far too much stupidity elsewhere. A lot of films from the 90s have some questionable asthetics and this film fits in with a lot of those. Russell Crowe gives a performance in the style of Jack Nicholson's Joker which is pretty brave but maybe misjudged.

2/5
