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.
