An intriguing sci-fi thriller, but in the end it doesn’t do enough with its ideas. Read full review

Bad doesn’t have to mean boring. Case in point: Vice, a bargain-bin high-concept sci-fi thriller full of Joel Schumacher-esque canted Steadicam moves, leaden expository dialogue, and cheap fluorescents-glued-to-the-wall sets. Read full review

A loud, dopey chase film filled with substandard shootouts. Read full review

Perversely low-budget and oddly devoid of imagination, Vice seems less like a proper film than a bargain-basement SyFy pilot, shot on the cheap and drafting off Willis and Jane’s star power. It’s about androids aching to be real, but it doesn’t have an ounce of genuine humanity in its tin heart. Read full review

Conveying zero grit, atmosphere or texture (exterior shots are repetitively bathed in cobalt blue), and gathering little in the way of force or dramatic momentum, “Vice” barely engages with its potential ideas beyond the most blandly expository, bullet-ridden level. Read full review

Robert Abele

Perhaps aware of how little its audience might pay attention to anything not running, fired off or blown up, the movie's characters explain themselves regularly. Willis, meanwhile, mutters his executive-suite-villain lines as if he's afraid of waking you. Read full review

Dull and lifeless, Vice fails on the promise of even its lowest ambitions. Read full review

This is a very good watch ... the plot rolls on nicely and the small number of main characters are relatable enough for an action scifi. I had no problem watching it through to the end and feeling entertained through out.

Lets put this movie into perspective. It was a good watch ... It's entertaining and deep down it has some interesting thought provoking issues. So it's not a mega massive box office smash - but lets be honest those generic big budget roll outs are a waste of space. This film cost around $10 million to make. John Carpenter cost $263 million. I'd rather have the option of 30 of these types of films than one of the other. Director Brian Miller told a good story.… Expand

I thought the actors were decent in there roles. A lot of shootouts but entertaining. Full of stunts, action, a few references to other films, but that happens a lot in today's Hollywood. The film is violent ,but that is the alternative life style that the people go there for. Overall I wasI thought the actors were decent in there roles. A lot of shootouts but entertaining.

The premise, although not entirely original, was serviceable enough to be considered a fun sci-fi romp. Unfortunately, Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane were less than interested and the philosophical questions the film poses are squandered with a lackluster second half.

This is what we stumble upon while trawling through late-night HBOs stuff. Well, it has Bruce and Thomas Jane so it can't be bad right? Ak. What a mess of an "on the nose" script.

Well, it has Bruce and Thomas Jane so it can't be bad right? Ak. What a mess of an "on the nose" script. Someone pitched this? Someone spent millions of dollars to make this?? I thought I had a good stomach for violence but this was too much. A precursor to HBO's Westworld (which was itself too violent) and leaning heavily on Blade Runner I figured this would be a good late-night Sci-Fi distraction but I was dead wrong. Bruce is miscast, Jane looks like Christopher Lambert from Highlander with greasy, lank long hair. Willis should have been the cop, he's not a corporate Elon Musk kinda guy. If he'd worked on the script instead of just taking the cash there might have been some sort of film here but it's a road wreck and really hard to watch. I ended up fast-forwarding to the end.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like this movie. I'm sure if Bruce Willis who played Julian Michaels, was the main character it would have been much better. Instead Thomas Jane took the lead on this one as a character named Roy. For some reason they have his character sucking on stick matches, maybe they felt he needed to butch up or something I don't know but it gave his character a cheap image. So one of the clones, Kelly, gets loose and is on the run, she meets up with her maker Evan who happens to have cloned her in his wife's image. They would have gotten away cleanly if it wasn't for Roy who plays a very inexperienced and sloppy cop who lead the bad guys right to them ending in Evan being killed and Roy feeling no remorse. Kelly and Roy team up when Roy gives her the option to help him or leave stating he won't stop her, should have thought of that before he got Evan killed. Long story short Roy and Kelly end the organization called Vice, killing Julian, or did they...… Expand

Horribly paced with a horrible story to boot, Vice has a very "Blade Runner" vibe but it fails at its execution. Other than Thomas Jane and Bruce Willis, whom you can tell was just looking for a quick paycheck the acting gives the ones in a porn flick a run for its money.

Other than Thomas Jane and Bruce Willis, whom you can tell was just looking for a quick paycheck the acting gives the ones in a porn flick a run for its money. Direction is also poor as Miller does nothing to explore his characters as they all come across as flat and/or one dimensional. I get Bruce Willis probably doesn't have to take big budget projects anymore because its less big budget problems but to me its just so sad to see a quality actor whom I've enjoyed being a fan of (Die Hard 1-4, Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense, Armageddon, Hostage) take these walk on roles in projects that are frankly beneath him, same for Thomas Jane whose also a quality filmmaker in his own right. This film just feels beneath them… Expand

Это что-то невероятно плохое. Некий гость из времен бума видеокассет 90-х. И как только Брюса угораздило в этом сняться. Что-то писать еще об этом бессмысленно.
