Shallow stuff, but the solid visual effects, decent stunts, and the work of Washington and Crowe make it watchable.

Mick LaSalle

The presence of Washington lends the picture a much-needed dose of authenticity. But in the end Virtuosity is disconnected and uninvolving.

Despite the fact that it treads recycled waters, Leonard's film is an enjoyable ride.

Though Virtuosity connects all the dots to give audiences a roller-coaster ride, the movie begets nothing new: It's stillborn.
