Starring: King Kong Ain’t Got Sh!t On Denzel Objectively, this movie deserves at least 2.5 or 3 stars. Washington and everyone else are fine. The action is fine. The cinematography is fine. The special effects, well, that's not fine, and clearly someone saw Terminator 2…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineJan 23, 2016its like every sci fi/action film with a bloated plot and a minimal budget just got condensed and had loads of money thrown at it. i truly believe u can only make these work if youve got a cast that will absolutely throw themselves into this and the two leads do it VERY…
robynJan 10, 2021Woah, how have I never seen this before? Denzel Washington facing off against Russell Crowe in a semi futuristic world filled with virtual reality and outdated computer FX? Yes, please! The movie certainly has its weak spots and more than a few plot holes, but I don't care.…

Who can forget the futuristic year of 1999, when we had sentient computer programs running around in silicon bodies that could regenerate any injury by touching glass? It was a wild time! Don’t believe me, Zoomers? Ask your parents. They’ll back me up. Washington and…

~findlayFeb 9, 202590’s sci-fi incorporating AI and virtual reality are always so interesting, just forget about The Lawnmower Man. Russell Crowe was pretty great, I’d watch him do a DJ set using people’s screams any day, such charisma. Enjoyable action sequences, and the visual effects have…

this movie could very easily be thirty minutes shorter. russell crowe would have made a pretty good Joker.
Jamelle BouieApr 10, 2015Trashy ‘90s thriller involving serial killers and virtual reality—in other words, un film de Brett Leonard. However, the real auteur here is production designer Nilo Rodis-Jamero, the former George Lucas associate who also designed Johnny Mnemonic. This is what old-school…
I.V.Apr 22, 2020When Hollywood realized the possibilities of CGI we got some of the most bizarre movies ever made. Russell Crowe in one of his few roles where he was allowed to have fun and Denzel Washington with dreads just sleepwalking through the film. The wonky CG actually helps a lot…

- James is "meh" onVirtuosity
Fine for what it is. Quite amazing seeing Denzel and Crowe so young working together all the way back in 1995. The plot is interesting but the script and world building is so so lazy. The technology is 90’s with really terrible CGI. In that respect it’s not aged well at all
Jim dislikedVirtuosityDidn’t age well - watched this in 2023 and it felt cheesy. I could see how it was good in the 90s though. Still kinda an interesting concept. Similar to terminator in a way
Marcus likedVirtuosityThe true first meeting of Denzel and Crowe. The high tech aspect doesn’t hold up 20 years later, but the unique story is still worth the watch.
- Mickerdoo is "meh" onVirtuosity
Like a mashup of T2 and Demolition Man, but not good. Lazy future depiction. Antagonist too willy-nilly and without intriguing motive.
Tyler Mazzola likedVirtuositygraphics were pretty good for the time and the plot was interesting.
grace likedVirtuositysuper cheesy and hella funny

Metacritic
Despite some briefly breathtaking, computer-generated special effects, Virtuosity is 95 minutes of unsubstantial firefights and meandering plot twists.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
What redeems Virtuosity a little is that even at the end, even in the midst of the action cliches, it still finds surprises in the paradox of a villain that is also a program.
