Vice

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

A loud, dopey chase film filled with substandard shootouts.

Everything about Vice feels like recycled goods. It's basically "Westworld" meets "Blade Runner" programmed by glitchy filmmaking replicators.

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.

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.

Evidencing more bullets than brains, Vice — a bit of ephemeral science-fiction twaddle directed by Brian A. Miller — has absolutely nothing to recommend it.

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

Even with Willis - who looks like he was only needed for a day's filming - phoning it in, in every conceivable way, it still manages to be a hell of a lot of fun. Click here for free movie ****/watch-2a1059-Vice-movie-online-free-putlocker.html

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.

I'm glad there're others that share my opinion that this movie contains some merits. Is that a recommendation? Sadly, NO! I do like the 'Westworld' / 'Grand Theft Auto' nod, and if we had not seen countless other sci-fi movies that expanded upon the original concepts which gave us "modern sci-fi," this movie might be a bit more appreciated. I think the seemingly low production budget helped, since rather than portraying a billion dollar facility complete with holograms, white rooms, and marble toilets, the company in this movie looked like they were really trying to make a buck. The BEST theme in this movie is wether or or not I should care about the "replicants" and wether or not I should care about this movie! I appreciate it when movies don't "explain" things and just let them play out, and this movie pulls that off in some aspects, but also is guilty of one of the worst "explanation scenes" ever (I guess if you have not watched about 100 years worth of sci-fi over a period of about 40 years, you might need an explanation or two, though...). Ever since working on a script or two, I have been unable to view movies without asking myself and others; "Could you do better?" This movie is an anomoly that somehow pulled me through to the end. If you step back from the thousands of actions scenes you have seen, and realize that people CAN be really bad shots in real life, the portrayal has a sense of reality. Still really like Willis, still like Jane, and Childers is an amazingly beautiful woman. If you are a sci-fi connoisseur, or interested in getting a few dos and don'ts for making movies, watch it. My rating is based on pretending I have never seen another movie in my life.

I was expecting more out of Vice. Script is bad and directoring was worse. I mean no one gun could hit the side of a barn from inside and I'm tired of seeing Bruce Willis playing the bad guy.
