Virtuosity<\/a><\/strong> (1995) Director: Brett Leonard – 5\/10 (okay\/decent)
Regrettably, the flick completely fails to live up to its full potential by reason of getting stunted by its infuriatingly bromidic script, eventually succumbing to its action-oriented proclivities and devolving into yet another meaningless, otiose exercise in mainstream pop culture extravaganza. The primary attraction of the entry lies in Russell Crowe<\/em>‘s showing who turns in probably one of the best performances of his career: he basically owns this picture, exuding sardonicism insofar as it invigorates the otherwise nondescript tale. It is a bit of a shame his performance here is confined to such an insipidly gestated movie: had Virtuosity<\/strong> opted for a more satirical approach with none of that clich\u00e9d nonsense, this probably would have turned out a bona fide classic. Instead, Crowe’s outstanding portrayal of the absolute psychopath running amok constitutes the only real reason to watch this painfully run-of-the-mill actioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
