Vice (2015) Online

Porno quality acting, porno quality actresses, porno quality dialog. gigantic plot holes, zero internal logic, ridiculous overuse of automatic weapons, bad science and disrespect for the laws of physics, poor CGI, rotten set design, bad lighting, yada, yada.

Oddly enough, the sound,editing,and cinematography were professionally acceptable.

The makers of this film have no respect for science fiction and were just attempting to make a cheap comic book movie. Unfortunately, they didn't have the funds or imagination. The result compares unfavorably with the average movie made for the syfi channel.

Thomas Jayne was obviously embarrassed to be in this since he obscured his looks in shambling meth addict wardrobe and makeup. Bruce Willis didn't have that luxury so he was forced to show his disdain by delivering his lines deadpan like a first table reading of the script.

When I watched this movie it had a 4.7 rating. I thought it couldn't be that bad - it starred Bruce Willis after all. Turns out Willis must have owed someone a big favor, because this movie is really terrible. Poor acting, poor script and poor directing.

And what's up with the artificial smoke? It's everywhere. This movie is everything Blade Runner wasn't and I mean that in the worst possible way.

I rate it 2 because Willis doesn't act quite as bad as the rest of the lead cast.

In short, this movie was a major disappointment and I wonder what it was that made Willis say yes to play a part in it.

I've been around a long time and have seen A lot of movies. I would have to say that this "movie" is easily in my top 5 of Worst Movies EVER. All the negative reviews are spot on. I would imagine that anyone rating this over 5 is either fake or is possibly listed somewhere on the credits...which, by the way, were more enjoyable to watch than the movie itself.

I watched this movie for free but for the first time in my life I feel compelled to ask someone for my money back. Yes, it's THAT BAD!

PS. I have never posted a movie review before so it took forever for me to find a way to post one on IMDb. I was first using my iPhone. Spent 15 minutes and couldn't find it so I fired up my laptop, spent 4 minutes locating the right link to push. I mention this because I needed to add more lines of text for my review to be posted AND I wanted you to understand how serious I was about finding a way to post this review. It is that bad of a movie!

On 1/1, the first day of 2015, I saw the worst movie of the year. And probably one of the worst ever made.

I have no idea how this movie got green lit by a studio executive! 1 1/2 hours of a boring chase after chase in which everyone gets shot except the leading actress. She just runs in zigzag and avoids every single bullet coming at her!

If you see this movie. Keep notice of how the music is being used to heighten the suspense of many awful scenes. Absolutely hurried/horrid in every aspect. Directing, story, acting, editing, screenplay, music, and stunts/action. Avoid at all costs. Even for free!

I'm learning something. Anytime DirecTv says this movie is available same day as it comes out in theaters...it's going to suck royally. Watched Vice on PPV on demand and found myself rolling my eyes a lot. This movie could have been one of those quiet noir flicks that says very little in the way of dialogue, just let the shots tell the story. Instead some two bit writer tried to be way too clever. Bad attempts at humor and in one case an insensitive punch line inserted at one of the possibly heart tugging points in the movie. It's west world it's bladerunner its i robot all thrown in a blender and submitted as a script to the film school professor. It got a F- and a 10 million dollar budget. Welcome to Hollywood. Everyone in the movie except the cop seemed like an "artificial".

***Don't believe any of the positive 5-star reviews for this horrible "movie." It is clear that they are either fake or being put up by friends or family members of the people involved in the making of this movie.***

Bruce Willis has done a few movies lately where he shows up for about three short scenes, often shot in one location. It is clear that he was hired for a single day's work for a lot of money. This is one of those movies. His name and face is being used to sell, what is otherwise, a film without any hope of recouping whatever little money that was spent on it.

Where to start? Awful acting. Any acting student from a local community college drama class could act better than all the leads in this film. The woman lead was awful. The man playing the cop was awful. Every actor was sleepwalking through the film. The movie has no plot. It is done on a super low budget (most of the money went to Bruce, I am sure.)

What was disappointing was that this is a Lionsgate film. Lionsgate makes really good movies. But it was clear from the credits that this movie was hacked together by a conglomerate of foreign financing and production.

Complete waste of time.

It seemed to have all the ingredients for something interesting. But someone lost the script on the way to production. I guess Bruce Willis needed some quick cash and put this absolutely useless waste of time on the market. This will do great with the 12-16 year old boys due to lots of suggestive sexual scenes with the typical bimbo looking girls that appeal to this age group. Plot was super weak and could have been done in 1/2 hour. Loads of shooting and not hitting anything which got really annoying. Matter of fact, to watch a line of men shooting automatic weapons behind others clearly in their line of fire and no one getting hit just reinforced how amateur this production really is. I originally thought it would be a remake of WestWorld, but I can honestly say the Yule Brenner is not turning over in his grave.

Should be more accurately called 'rape city; also Bruce Willis is there... God knows why, he must be broke'

the acting was awful, the storyline flawed, and the general themes of the film in general should never have been considered, mediocre trash

also is the main detective character someone's brother because i don't know how else he would have received a role like that, it was so bad i had to confirm he wasn't the director of the film, making a self puff piece to show off how great an actor he could be

I've never written a review on here before but i was prompted to merely to get the overall rating of this film down in order to benefit future generations

But it is worth no more than 50 cents.

Dumb artsy-fartsy sci-fi with a feeble attempt at some sort of social commentary.

I am not sure whether "Vice" suggests that all men are potential murderers of defenseless women, whether it criticizes the virtual reality of video game and that these games lead to a violent society or whether men are misogynistic monsters. The story is a messy, sticky mix of many other stories...

Anyways, it is one of those films that fails in all fronts, from poor acting (Bruce Willis seems to be in a trance), wasted talent (T. Jane is lost), plot, direction. Visually it is bland, dull.

Vice will for sure be one contender for a Golden Raspberry Award in all categories.

Do yourself a favor and avoid it. It is horrid.

The original idea was interesting. A theme park for adults were people can do whatever they want. With some imagination it could become a serious study of human conduct; an action movie, a moral tale or at least a very interesting movie. Well thanks to really bad and lazy writer, a not better director and a few good actors trying only to get their checks and run out, this is one of the worse movie of the year (assuming it is the worst would be a compliment this movie really do not deserve).

Making a list of errors would be endless and not worth reading; simply avoid it at any cost.

Bruce has gotten into the practice of lending his name to crappy B-movie efforts, giving up 5 minutes of screen time, then cashing his check. He doesn't even try any more. There's nothing more to say about this movie other than its not worth the electricity consumed to project it on the screen.

This is a movie about androids made of steel, recycled human tissue and cloned cells that one day become awake. Unfortunately the later can't be said about the film itself although or rather because it shows similar qualities as the creatures it portrays. We have lots of recycled lines in the script, cloned characters and the acting might not be called made of steel but is certainly to be considered wooden. And as said the whole thing never really comes to life.

Don't get me wrong, it would not necessarily be a bad thing to have dialogs that quote several classics, show well known archetypes facing well known struggles and overcoming them by heroism, but what this movie gives us is just a bad hush hush version of said things. It almost seems they just wanted to make a movie with Willis in it and something with science fiction (surrogates was not so bad either, was it?).

I only pity the actors in it (and everyone who actually pays to see it). The script is so weak and the directing so bad, that even a slightly interesting plot cant make up for it and so all we do is watch a not so bad cast suffer through the lines. I find that no matter how good an actress or an actor is, if they are left with bad dialog in awkward situations without any help from the director they are doomed to fail. And that is the case here in my view.

What i would have liked to see here is a focus right from the start on the main character = the girl and make it a bit of a mystery so the viewer has to find out what is going on while relating more and more to her. Then it wouldn't even be so bad to have the usual hero that helps the damsel in distress. and i think it would have provided a lot more interesting situations and a better story-arc.

What we really get is a sledgehammer version where the writer found it necessary to explain everything to the audience (as you (should) know ....) alongside with over the top acting just to make a point (like that the bad guy is really really bad).

Anyways, not enough to make it a good experience and even a mediocre movie: 3 out of 10 (any decent movie gets at least a 5 with me, and for every remarkable feature like e.g. the acting, photography, dialog, etc. one point extra. vice versa if the movie is severely lacking in these departments i subtract one point. so i will add one point to 5 for the plot (which could have made for a better movie i feel) and subtract one point each for the acting, the dialog and the directing)

The plot was terrible and had so many holes. Just too much didn't make sense. The story just wasn't convincing at all.

Here are 12 terrible plot points about the movie:

1. If Vice is so expensive to get in, how do all these low-life criminals afford to get in, and yet the locals in the city never seem to have been inside? And why are all the men rapists?

2. If Vice is a city (within a city), then why is there only one entrance? And where are the fences or walls? Why not build the place in the middle of the desert like Las Vegas or something? Why build it within an existing city?

3. When Kelly goes to the bar, why did she leave right after watching the news? She's lost and confused. Shouldn't she be sticking around to ask for questions? Why did she even go to the bar in the first place??

4. When the Vice men first approach Kelly in the parking garage with the rapist from the bar, why didn't they even talk to the rapist guy? You know, tell him to stand back or get away or something. They just ignored him and then shot him afterwards. And why did the rapist even try to attack the Vice guy with a knife? With 2 armed men standing behind him? Seriously?

5. The warehouse scene made absolutely no sense. They chased her there, she hid behind a pillar, and instead of walking to the end to look for her, they just started shooting randomly after counting down. Why were they even chasing Kelly with guns? She was unarmed!! Nor does she have any super powers! Just run after her and grab her!

6. At the church when Kelly meets Evan, he isn't even surprised to see her. It's like he was expecting her. Again, how and why?

7. Why wasn't Vice able to track her GPS to the church? And the tracking device was in the bracelet as opposed to being implanted in her? Really? Even after the bracelet was disabled, they could have at least tracked her last GPS location.

8. The armed men from Vice are wearing protective gear, and yet they can be taken down with a pistol? WTF?

9. At the pier, the cargo ship is leaving in less than 20 minutes. And yet when they get there, they're standing around and waiting. What kind of cargo ship isn't there 20 minutes before departure??? Just whom are they waiting for? Also how the hell do you make a reservation for a cargo ship?

10. Why did she need an upgrade? What did she even upgrade? All she did was karate chop a security guard and take his gun. Then she shot another security guard. Awesome upgrade, right? And how was none of that caught on surveillance?

11. When entering the control room of Vice, nobody even saw her? The room was full of people! And again, nothing was caught on surveillance? They should have had an army waiting for her!

12. And just what was the whole reason for taking down Vice? Roy's supposed to be a cop. And yet he runs around like Rambo killing all the security guards inside as if Vice were a terrorist organization. Vice is a private company! Regardless of your ethics, you don't run around shooting the employees of a company just because you don't like it. I don't buy it.

Don't bother watching this movie, unless you already have and are just re-watching it to compare my questions to the movie.

Yeah the story already is unappealing. But than again, there is a story for everything. Shouldn't have to be bad.

But than half way in you find out that everything has been build up in not even five years time you lose me. Just cannot grab my mind you would go through all the trouble of making a movie and screw up such an trivial thing.

Yes all the other point other reviewers are true too. It simply is just that bad. No respect for the audience.

When it comes to lower budget film releases, the movie genre to probably have the most trouble looking anywhere near authentic is in the realm of science fiction. Most science fiction films today require a lot of heavy CGI and high tech gadgetry in order to look somewhat presentable for its genre and the audience viewing it. However, people tend to forget how ambitious their plans may be and the error of their ways ends up showing up in the end product. For this particular feature though, this is only one of a number of issues that is noticeable. Directed by Brian A. Miller, this would-be sci-fi thriller has a tough time throwing out any original ideas to the table that haven't already been used. Writers Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore (both San Andreas (2015)) don't seem to have a full grasp on what exactly they wanted the movie get across.

The story takes place in some undated future where a new society arises called Vice. Established by a man named Julian (Bruce Willis), Vice was created as an outlet for the public, so that for any fantasy they wanted to make for themselves was possible. That meant no laws, no government, no responsibilities and no consequences. Making sure that any acts of violence were performed humanely, the company made A.I. units who looked, acted and lived like normal human beings but underneath there was software and electronics. After one A.I. unit named Kelly (Ambyr Childers) begins having repeated flashbacks of past events, she flees with Vice security on her tail hoping that Kelly won't reveal to the public a unit became self aware. Also following closely behind is Roy Tadeski (Thomas Jane), a lone cop who's not too fond of Vice for generic reasons pertaining to the attitudes people end up adopting after leaving the facility.

Writing wise, it isn't the absolute worst but it isn't well thought out either. The screenplay tries to tackle a number of social and idealistic issues by borrowing ideas from older films like Westworld (1973), RoboCop (1987) and even The Purge (2013), but much of it is just underdeveloped and underplayed. The actors themselves are okay at best but you would figure, both Thomas Jane and Bruce Willis, who both have enough experience to act would make some kind of an impression. Thomas Jane has a couple of humorous moments in the film but much of it is just him mumbling through a toothpick. Willis is even more disappointing because his role really just feels like a call in. It would actually be more appropriate to say that Ambyr Childers as the rogue unit and Bryan Greenberg, who plays an important character in the plot, are far more interesting to watch than the two veterans previously mentioned. The story itself is not new but it can be tolerated. What isn't tolerated is how it was executed like a standard cat and mouse chase.

Because the majority of characters are quite predictable, there isn't much tension to be found among the scenes that have time constraining ordeals. Another aspect to this movie that isn't exploited properly are the sci-fi elements. Of everything described previously involving A.I. units and software, there is only one scene that looks remotely scientific. This involves rewiring a fuse inside a unit. The rest of the would-be science fiction like A.I. scenes are all done indirectly. An example of this is when Kelly receives an upgrade, which is done off screen. How disappointing - that's really trying to stretch the audiences' gullibility. The other major component that is sorely lacking any exploration is the paradise of Vice itself. The only thing audiences get to see in Vice are acts of murder, drinking and sex. Yeah these are pretty much the kinds of things most people would want to get away with, but with no laws wouldn't there be more to that? Surely someone would be more creative do something crazier than that, of which isn't it kind of the whole point?

Also how does a visitor to Vice know the difference between a human and a unit? There really wasn't any explanation given. The only science fiction like credit that can be given is the set production to the film. At least that looked somewhat apocalyptic in some respects and they didn't look cheap either. The shootouts are alright but nothing inventive. The part that worked against that however was the cinematography shot by Yaron Levy. There were two things Levy kept doing that will probably annoy the viewers. First, there are two many shots with dutch and other cockeyed angles. The second is that when Levy's camera is lateral, the camera keeps doing rotating 360 circumference shots. This is better than shaky camera by far but still frustrating at times. The film score however was better than expected. Composed by a trio of artists who call themselves Hybrid did an okay job. There was no main theme but they did have a number of tracks that worked, especially the ones involving Ambyr Childers and Bryan Greenberg. The thing I can't believe is that the filmmakers actually thought that this movie would get a sequel with an extremely obvious cliffhanger.

Its set production and music display decent quality with okay acting by the main cast but it's more of a time waster than it is worth a watch. The writing is below average, the camera-work is frustrating at best, the action is too standard and the science fiction elements are barely used for a story based on it.

If you are an IMDb "reviewer in training," this is a great place to start. It is sorta like a "starter hill" in skiing, just a nice gentle downhill slope to start your review on, and then your own momentum will take you safely to the bottom, err, end.

These are my notes, to get you going

* I can claim to have seen Westworld when released in a real theatre. However in a world where today's viewers have the attention span of a bumblebee, that was a long long time ago. Hollywood can remake or re-imagine it if they like. In point of fact, the core idea (seen only in the first 20 minutes, before the film seems to run out of creativity) of redoing it from the POV of the robots (oops, "artificials") is bloody clever and deserved much more traction than it got.

* did you know Bruce Willis is 60 years old? He has been the backbone of the industry for decades (seems like just yesterday he jumped from MOONLIGHTING to DIE HARD) but he is not getting the plum roles anymore. The real bitter and ugly irony here is that Jane is doing the Willis role and not very well. If you are an alert reviewer, in every scene where Jane and Willis face off (not many) you ache to hit the pause button and imagine what the film would be like if they reversed roles.

* Childers is gorgeous. But you knew that. One of the requirements to get the role is that you had to be gorgeous. And if you get trapped in a theatre on a rainy afternoon in Cleveland, there are worse ways to pass the time than to watch a gorgeous actress trying to bootstrap her career to the next level.

Those are your starter notes for your review, young scribe. Good luck.

Having read the other reviews, I will have to agree with them - Bruce Willis must have really owed someone a big favor to sign off on this one. The plot is almost exactly like an updated Westworld. Do you remember that 1973 film with Yul Brynner? At least that one had a good director with Michael Crichton who wrote and directed that film (as well as the Jurassic dinosaur series of films, novels, and video games) . This one could have used a better writer to give it more depth and a better director to get more out of the actors. One criticism that would be obvious is that all the security guards needed many, many more hours on the target range as they could not hit the broad side of a barn at 20 meters.

Some reviewers called Bruce Willis' performance too wooden or stone-like, but that is understandable given the 'surprise' ending that he was just another robot all along. Bruce was just being a method actor playing the part of a robot the entire time on this film. He wasn't stiff, he was a robot! Now I really want to see Bruce Willis in more Science Fiction films - when given the chance to really act, he does a tremendous job and is a credit to the project. I only suggest you watch this film - for free - to see Bruce work. I am only sorry he didn't have something better to work with. My apologizes to Brian Miller and the writers Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore, although it is true I have not directed nor written a better Science Fiction than "Vice", I honestly believe if I could get the funding, even I could do a better job. Sorry, I gave this film a sore of 4 and that is pretty generous.

There needs to be a framework with somewhat believable events to make pretend Hollywood movies worth watching. That was this movie's main fail, a classic example of lazy.

Perhaps it would help if villains could actually hit what they shoot hundreds of rounds at. These villains should have been on villain unemployment. A good villain wouild get the rabbit in one or two shots. The rabbit would most assuredly have been taken down on the first grenade strike, they all actually hit close enough to be lethal or near lethal, though she got away just fine.

Perhaps it would help if people died like they really would in real life (more on that later). Getting hit multiple times from full auto does not facilitate the villain dancing-jittering on his feet in place as the dozen or so rounds strike him. There is momentum, the round's momentum striking a solid object drives it back (not counting solid bone breaking). But then like magic and only after the last round ques him to fall down dead, he does so with no apparent exist holes with blood and bone-flesh fragments.

We all know Hollywood is the world of fake. But at least it should try to be entertaining and true to life. Fake is the problem in real life, fake dulls some in the public to think shooting people isn't that bad.

I feel Hollywood and entertainment is a very real contributor to the festering component of violence and death in real life on our city's streets. The actors who portray gun violence to millions of our youth then climb onto the anti-2nd bandwagon in real life are an odorous seething pile, a stench. One actor is now in the process of moving his family to Australia because he feels all butt hurt who the POSTUS is. Wow, what a childish mind. Yet blood is on his hands by him killing many people on the silver screen. Blood money is in his pocket, blood money spent on his family.... Yet he fights the 2nd amendment.... That is Hollywood ilk for ya.

The only good thing about Vice was the idea and that's about it. It's just too bad the script was so terrible because they could have done so much better with this movie. There are so many bad clichés in this movie it makes it almost comical. You have the highly trained guys with super modern machine guns that shoot about 100000 bullets and manage to hit one guy once at the end, and then you have the smart-ass cop with a toothpick in the corner of his mouth to make him look cool that has a stupid normal gun and that hits about everything he's shooting at. You have the usual bimbo's that have to lure more viewers. You have the well known actor (Bruce Willis in this case) that has to lure more viewers as well. But in Vice Bruce Willis just proves us he's not that of a great actor. Never was, never will be, just good enough for action movies a la Die Hard. The further you go in the story the more irritating it gets. It's just too bad the acting and the script were terrible otherwise you could have done something nice with the idea.

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.

This is definitely Bruce Willis's low point. Seriously, did this sound good on paper? I highly doubt it. Anyone who likes Sci-Fi shouldn't be snookered. The story of a kind of West World within a city whereby any customer can play out their own reality is totally crap. Sure, the movie creates an atmosphere within it's budget, but that must have been over half to get Willis to lend it some credibility. Within 90 minutes that credibility goes to zero along with a lot of whatever Bruce Willis is as of 2015, This is a total stinker. I've truly insulted myself by watching this drivel. Mr. Willis is sooo just cashing a paycheck here I can't believe it! I find nothing redeeming enough to even recommend a watch if everything ever filmed suddenly disappeared. Yes, this is that bad.

I don't know how this movie fell on my lap. It was either because it was one of those movies that were available on VOD while it was playing in theaters, or because someone wanted to see me to rip apart a Bruce Willis movie.

If you were that person, then your wish is my command. This movie is a desperate sci-fi action film that has little effort in everything they are doing. The sci-fi aspect is an unoriginal dystopian setting, the action is lazy and uninspired, and they both create an absurd plot that begs for the hand to meet the forehead. Vice is not only the worst movie of a 3-week old 2015, it's probably the worst movie of the 2010's so far. Battleship, A Thousand Words, The Last Airbender, Movie 43, Vampires Suck, Best Night Ever, and Transformers: Age of Extinction. They are ALL better movies than this!

First, let's talk about the story. Upon first glance, the idea is a typical dystopian sci-fi in that Blade Runner/Minority Report vein. But when you look at it closer, the ugliness really shows. The film opens with a robbery, which is revealed to be part of an advertisement for a resort called VICE, created by Julian Michaels (Willis). In this resort, there are no laws, the residents are free to do whatever they want to do, and the employees are artificial robots that are designed to look and act like humans. From the beginning, I was disgusted at what they are allowed to get away with. They are allowed to rob banks, shoot people, have sex anywhere (there's actually an orgy club in VICE), and abuse women (real or artificial). An artificial bartender named Kelly (Ambyr Childers) gets stopped in a parking lot one night by some bad guys. They kill her best friend before Kelly herself is choked to death. Both women get reset by VICE, and they wake up doing the same thing from the day before. Apparently, Kelly had too many resets, because later that night, she becomes self-aware and tries to get away from VICE. Everything about the plot and structure is wrong. This unrealistic and terrible story leaves you dumbstruck. These crimes are sexist in the most extreme way possible. The dialogue contains so much mean-spirited cursing and illogical exposition. They even mention over and over again that these artificials can act and feel the same way that humans can with real emotions.

Unfortunately, they forgot to mention that the most artificial thing in this movie is the acting. On top of the misogyny and mean-spirited nature, the actors are just coasting in underdeveloped characters. The main character is a cop (in a lawless city) named Roy (Thomas Jane), who is silently trying to take down VICE, and he uses Kelly to help him get the job done. His motivation is never truly revealed, and it isn't until the third act when we find out whose side he's on. Another character worth mentioning is Chris (Jonathon Schaeck), who serves as Julian's right-hand man and barely serves anything to the role or the story. In a step down from his brief time at HBO, Bryan Greenberg plays Evan, who's been researching the secrets to VICE and their artificials. He appears midway and gets killed right before the third act, so he has a short amount of time to assist Kelly against VICE, and while he's the closest thing to a real character, the movie never settles on his purpose. And Bruce Willis, who's been a hero in most of his movies, is somewhat unmotivated in his role as the villain. His character barely allows him to have any action scenes. Now, for the "heroine" Kelly, she's practically a dummy in distress. At the beginning, she's a tool for VICE, and she's on the escape throughout the second act. Then by the time she aligns with Roy, she's now a tool for him. She spends most of the movie trying to get free, and at the end, she's in the exact same position: being used by someone. Kelly is not a heroine. She has no character, no appeal, and no development.

Now, we need to get to the production and effects. I did research on the director, Brian A. Miller, and the results were horrifying. For his 2014 film, The Outsider, only one positive review was made, bringing its Tomatometer to 5%. He also did a movie in 2014 with Bruce Willis titled The Prince. That movie is at 0% on the Tomatometer, and its audience score is at 25%. Then I looked at Vice, and it not only has a 0% rating on the Tomatometer, but it also has a 0% rating on the audience score! And it's easy to see why. The opening tries with a tracking shot, but it comes out like the SyFy channel and TNT's offspring. The rest of the shots just give you a headache. The pace of the movie is way too rushed to the point where you want to tune out. Most of the action's just firing guns, and when they are shooting at Kelly, their aim is way off. Plus, the climax never holds any excitement or logic. Then it ends with too many plot holes. They never really specify a resolution that's understandable or complete. It's like they're trying to set something up for a sequel, but this movie's too much of a joke to pull it off.

If Paddington is the exception to the rule that movies in January are stinkers, then Vice is a movie that reinforces the rule in spades. The cinematography's nauseating, the acting's monotonous, the dialogue's atrocious, and the plot is JAW-DROPPINGLY TERRIBLE! Not even in a dystopian future where some of these crimes are condoned would this movie ever get a recommendation.

Greetings from Lithuania.

Although this is supposed to be review of the movie "Vice" (2015) - the movie itself is so bad, uninvolving, not interesting, terribly acted (except for Thomas Jane) / directed bad that i will not even want to talk about it - just don't wast your time on it like i just did. Shame on my. I want to share my thoughts on something different. Bruce Willis.

Bruce Willis.

Back in 1985 he was a struggling actor, hungry for big roles. That is when his first at the time big role in "Moonlighting" began. He was funny in that one. In 1988 everything has changed for him, as well as for action movies forever - "Die Hard" was born. Amazing, unforgettable, thrilling - these word perfectly described movie itself and performance of Bruce Willis - my favorite action movie character Officer John McClane was born. Along with 3 great sequels (yes, i loved "Die Hard 4.0") he enlisted himself as a action movie face for decades.

"The Last Boy Scout"; "Death becomes her"; "Pulp Fiction"; "Twelve Monkeys"; "The Fifth Element"; "Armageddon"; "The Sixth Sense" and so on - whether action movie, science fiction, drama - Bruce Willis could do anything, and he always was a thing to look at, even when he stared at the deepest emptiness of screenplay, he was a terrific screen presence, which could act - these were times when i called him one of the very few my favorite actors.

Starting from 2012, Bruce Willis started to make roles, where he was just a name and face, but there wasn't acting anymore. More and more direct to DVD movies started to appear. I started to asking myself, what happened? If these were just couple of movies, you could say "no problem, it happens", but now in 2015 i see that it will probably won't end. He became so lazy, so uninvolving in every "role", if appearance for 15-20 min you can call a role at all. He total sold himself. He is just a "paycheck" actor now. Looking at his resume in IMDb post 2012 you won't find a descent film (except for "Looper", which probably was made a bit earlier). No wonder Sylvester Stallone said "lazy and greedy" about him publicly, you can clearly see it on screen. Don't know what personal problems he could have had in personal life for making movie only for paycheck - he should be ashamed of himself if he is doing it only for $.

Overall, skip this pile of garbage "Vice", and you can probably forget about Bruce Willis - it's just a well know name of a man who once was known as a terrific cinema entertainer.

Writing 10 lines about this garbage,is actually flattering the movie. They have stolen big chunks out of several SCI FI movies. I can see parts of Blade Runner,Cyborg 2,and a few others. I'm having trouble deciding what's worse the acting,the bad wigs, or the aiming in the shooting scenes. I mean these guys are worse than the original A-team.They are missing each other by the mile,and we're talking up close 5ft apart from each other Thomas Jane look like a guy who has watched Cobra one to many times, walking around thinking he looks just as badass as Stallone did.Only problem is he's don't. HE has neither the on screen charisma nor the attitude for it.Not to mention he looks like a bum. Don't get fooled by Bruce Willis on the cover,he's only a minor part.

Hoping for Minority Report meets iRobot / Surrogates in Rockstar's Vice City backdrop of violence and explosions...

what this delivered was crappy editing, production, and horrible directing. this movie is a best example on how not to make a robot sci-fi

yes this was done on a smaller budget but this could have been better with the right production. id like to see a remake or sequel... if Spielberg, Proyas, or Mostow was behind it maybe?

as for this movie i would thank you for trying to bring this to the big screen, but upset that i had to pay for it
