10/10
"Hey Parker, this one's for you!"

I caught 'Virtuosity' on late-night tv years ago not expecting much and i loved it. I recently managed to hunt down a copy of the dvd (ah yes the joys of widescreen and stereo sound!) This movie is by far (in my opinion) Russell Crowe's and Denzel Washington's best movie. I've watched it at least 6 times now and it always manages to keep me entertained every time. Many people seem to disregard this movie as bad, but i think they are taking it the wrong way; taking it too serious. It's much like a dark comedy, and is done in an almost comic-book fashion, with SID 6.7 (Russell Crowe) stealing the show with a top-notch performance. Crowe is hilarious, and Denzel is good. I really feel for his character in this movie and what he goes through. I don't think that anyone could have a worse case of deja-vu. There's plenty of action, a great supporting cast, and plenty of humor by Crowe. This movie is a very fun game of cat-and-mouse. It's sad that this movie is so under-rated, because it's great. I give Virtuosity a rating of 10 out of 10--excellent sci-fi action movie! "Say thank you!"
