Though I enjoyed the film, I remember having watched it much earlier yet only remembering one scene in it. That's how forgettable it was for me until I did a rewatch
Crowe and Washington's acting as well as the woman that plays Madison form the core of the film, yet I feel that the movie got so caught up in the zeitgeist about computers that it failed to really have anything original about it. Most films have implausible plots but it's supposed to be possible given the reality of the Universe it's set in.
This one, somewhat gives it but also fails. With a nod to VR and not knowing where we are, we only find out something toward the end that makes it feel like a lazily executed twist.
Crowe does very well as Sid 6.7, Washington is very good in it and I wouldn't look at it further than a fun romp through dated material that thought it was being edgy.
I give it 7 for the action scenes, some philosophical stuff it touches on, and how the pacing was actually pretty good. I liked this movie more than I didn't.
