Virtuosity

To teach young police officers how to profile serial killers, a software company creates a virtual reality program. The program contains the psych profiles of hundreds of known serial killers and is adaptable, able to learn and evolve, creating ever tougher challenges for the officers.Things soon starts going badly wrong and officers linked to the virtual reality start to die. A new serial killer containing the characteristics and trades of all of the serial killers starts to materialize: Sid 6.7 played by Russell Crowe. And Sid 6.7 isn't satisfied just killing in V.R. He want's to kill for real.So the powers that be reinstate disgraced police officer and prisoner Parker Barnes (Denzel Washington), hoping that since he once succeeded in stopping one of the dominant characters in Sid 6.7's personality, he might also be able to stop Sid 6.7.Meanwhile Sid 6.7 has escaped his V.R. prison and taken over a silicon based robot with amazing regenerative powers, making him virtually unstoppable.....T.T.

This version is a definite upgrade from DVD, it lets you enjoy the performances of Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe even more and appreciate the work that was put into the production overall.Well worth the purchase!

Give a good actor a juicy role, no matter how tacky the vehicle is, and watch him go! Russell Crowe, who here gives Rutger Hauer some stiff competition in the psycho department, (think Roy Batty from "Blade Runner" and "The Hitcher",) stars as SID 6.7 in this sci-fi adventure set SEVEN YEARS AGO. SID is a virtual reality program that the Los Angeles PD wants to use to train its officers in the ways of sociopathic perps. However, in the beginning of the movie, when we're getting all the tech exposition, SID manages, through the dastardly ministrations of his programmer, to work his neural net into an actual self-regenerating android, able to wreak havoc on the city. SID, standing for "Sadistic, Intelligent and Dangerous", is a compendium of hundreds of serial killers and sociopathic personalities, which makes him formidable, indeed! One of those personalities is the man who killed the wife and daughter of Parker Barnes, an ex-cop serving time for manslaughter after killing a civilian by mistake on duty. What follows is a non-stop, roller coaster cat and mouse game the minute the killer inside SID recognizes Barnes and begins to taunt him, just like the actual person did when he was alive. Because of SID's morbid attachment to Barnes, the LAPD tech dept., that created SID, LETAC, recruits Barnes to go after him after he starts to wreak havoc on the city.Russel Crowe chews the scenery like a barracuda on uppers as he relishes every saidstic, evil deed SID performs in this movie. Washington's performance is phoned in, but he still acquits himself nicely, getting the job done. The ending is tense as all get-out, with you not knowing exactly what's real and what isn't in the film, and there are a few twists taken with this premise, but I guarantee you, you will be on the edge of your seat with this flick, a flick that seemed to jumpstart Crowe's career and was a bit of slumming for Denzel Washington, who had already won an Oscar for his work in "Glory" and was well on his way to becoming a latter day legend. I can't help thinking that this movie started a competition between the two actors, who seem to have been in a status race SINCE this movie, as if Parker and SID are still chasing each other!The plot thickens!!

I guess I missed this in '95 to to being in school. But alas, whether you saw it then or now for the first time, it's still a great flick. Filled with action, stunts, and a pretty good storyline, Denzel Washington as Parker Barnes is a great character. I have to say that Russell Crowe DOES steal the show from Washington, and proves his acting ability to the American public. Crowe made a plain purple suit on one guy look super-fly on him. The scene that is turned into a trailer with "Staying Alive" as the background music is just classic, and seeing SID that way makes me want to tear Crowe's suit off. It's just so juicy! So ladies, if you're a Crowe fan and haven't seen this, order your own copy, as you'll be sure to have it be a favorite in your library for years to come. SID is just so delicious. Enjoy!

Fun to revist the weird pasts. Happy.

Haven't watched this movie in years, not Denzel's best but I wanted it for my collection of Denzel movies.

I saw this movie years ago and really enjoyed it, but I can't say the same thing today. I'm a big fan of both actors, but the whole story and the acting seemed overblown to me. Either I'm getting old (true) or this movie has not stood the test of time as well as some sci-fi favorites (probably also true).

I bought this movie after a discussion with my son about having seen it when it first came out. After I decided to buy it to view again we were happy with how fast we received our order-which came in excellent condition and was of excellent viewing quality. It was good to watch it again! Definitely will use this shipper for future purchases!

Bon service

Anche se viene riportato come DVD si conferma che mi è arrivato il Blu ray .Si conferma anche l'audio Italiano.

Danke
