Julian Michaels has designed the ultimate resort: VICE, where anything goes and the customers can play out their wildest fantasies with artificial inhabitants who look, think and feel like humans. When an artificial becomes self-aware and escapes, she finds herself caught in the crossfire between Julian's mercenaries and a cop who is hell-bent on shutting down Vice, and stopping the violence once and for all.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
glenrose88-605-603328 I only started to watch this film because of Bruce Willis, one of my favorite actors. I gave it up after 20 minutes. It's a terrible film with amateurish acting and story line. I guess Bruce needs the money to get involved in something this embarrassing. Usually I can watch even bad sci-fi flics just for the imaginative ideas but this one was so bad I couldn't sit through it.
clock_me First of all I would like to say that because of the reviews from2015 I put off this movie for so long until tonight and I just have to point out that the reviews are wrong I wish this movie was a little longer then 1hour and 42 but it still manages to delver and keep you holding on to your seat the action is well done kinda reminds me of good day to die hard the story is nothing new about a robot woman who starts getting her memory back of everything that happened to her and the company doing everything in there power to get her back one of the complainants wad of the special effects and how they look childish but as i was going through the film there was nothing like that at all another complaint was of how Bruce Willis only did this movie because of a favour he I also heard of how the action was bad but i have seen a lot of worse like hamlet 2017 or attack of the killer doughnuts I think people are just mad because Bruce Willis was only in it for like maybe 10 minutes or they just didn't find this movie realistic if you want a fast pacing good story well acted movie go see this and do not go for the 1 star reviews
thekarmicnomad In the future the latest resort is populated by androids which are only there to facilitate the paying guests every fantasy.Sounds like "West World" right? Well sort of, back in the 70's confronted with a similar premise, all the guests wanted to do was gun-sling or partake in a Roman orgy. Things have moved on, so of course here the guests want to kill, rape and brutalize the occupants.To make these fantasies realistic the androids are given personalities and backgrounds, their minds wiped each morning. They exist in a kind of Dante's version of "Ground Hog day."This opens up lots of great opportunities to explore AI, robot rights, the meaning of life, do violent acts encourage violence - or an excuse for a great sci-fi romp.However, the actual story of this film is very, very dull. Shady operatives have to hunt down a rouge android. A painfully stereotypical bitter cop gets involved. Then ten thousand rounds of ammunition get pumped into the scenery, yawn yawn yawn.Well at least no one had the stupid idea to upgrade the android Matrix style. Oh hang on a minute.Good idea but badly executed. Poor acting, lighting, direction, set, story and characters.
NavyOrion No, "Vice" is not the worst movie of all time, as some would have you believe. On the other hand, those who gave it ten stars need to see more movies. But while covering very little new ground, it did manage to plod along, and do an average job of it.HERE THERE BE SPOILERS... The biggest touchstone for this film would have to be "Blade Runner;" like that film, "Vice" also explored the concept of the humanity of those who are not quite human. The "artificials" (as they are called in this story) have been placed in an adult amusement park (called "Vice," hence the title) in a concept similar to "Westworld," except that this film's budget apparently would not cover sets that were anything more elaborate than everyday urban. The minds and emotions of these "residents" are quite real, but each day their memories are erased, so that they will not recall the criminal traumas inflicted on them by human visitors; they have no idea that they are living in a fake world, and have been placed in the "Vice" amusement park to be assaulted or murdered by paying guests. Of course, if they were to start RETAINING those memories...A police detective (Thomas Jane as the inevitable "loose cannon" cop) believes that, rather than getting evil intent out of their systems, raping and murdering the residents of Vice only inflames the passions of criminals, who then come back into his city and commit crimes against real humans. He therefore repeatedly ignores the orders of his cliché-ridden captain to stay away from the park, their city's biggest source of revenue.Of course, he teams up with one of the original inventors, played by Bryan Greenberg, whose incredibly wooden performance marks a low point in a movie filled with poor acting. A runaway resident, played by the lovely Ambyr Childers, also takes part in the scheme to take down Vice's founder (Bruce Willis) but finds that her programming will not allow her to shoot him (a minor plot point brazenly stolen directly from "Robocop.") Too bad, because aside from being the stereotypical "corporate bad guy," Willis has almost no role, phoning in a one-dimensional performance that consists almost entirely of frowning at computer monitors and issuing orders; I suspect his "starring" role took up no more than a single day of his schedule.Though not entirely original, the combination of the familiar stories is somewhat intriguing, if marred by mediocre and unimaginative execution: the producers would have done better to explore the philosophical and moral points of the story rather than engaging in an endless parade of chase scenes and disposable security officers. But for what it is, an obvious direct-to-DVD make-work project, "Vice" is a decent enough effort. It could have been better, but it could also have been worse.
