Vice
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.

Best movie of this year hands down!
Waste of time
Great Film overall
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
I'd say that for today, the film is average. Production values are good. But, the overarching problem with the film is it is predicated on rather trite feminist propaganda. Do you believe rape is a pervasive problem and that rape culture exists? If so, you'll love this movie. If you're like most people however, you'll find the message of this film offensive.
This is not a West world remake. It brings up several interesting topics such as whether sentient AI is alive or merely a very good imitation of life. The idea of being unleashed in a world where one can do anything and everything is another element brought up, but none of these are really explored. The action is believable generally though not exceptional. The acting mostly solid. It's not a B flick, but not a blockbuster either. Entertaining but this movie missed it's potential to be deep or interesting. Far too much screen time was spent on trivia and not enough exploring the ideas. Not enough action to make it a mindless action flick. The biggest liability was the typical Hollywood clichés. If Willis had been unleashed as a character rather than a 2D villain it'd made for a much more interesting movie. The detective just comes off as annoying and PC in a really odd way. There is some mild preaching going on that just distracts rather than enhances the movie and takes away from the plot exploration. It is also psychologically unsound, as psychology studies have shown that violent outlets such as video games actually decrease rather than increase violent tendencies and serve as a healthy outlet for preexisting drives rather than inspiring them. Overall this is a movie worth watching but not one to write home about. It could have been a really great movie and that is the real shame.
Why do movies always have women wearing heavy not smudged or smeared makeup, like in this movie, or appearing to have makeup on when getting out of bed in the morning? Otherwise I really like this movie!Lots of action, moves along well.Lots of focus on sex and exploiting women - which I don't like.
The writing was so bad. Writers - Andre Fabrizio, Jeremy Passmore. They also wrote red dawn and san andreas which topped less than 3 stars, so yeah they aren't the best writers in town. Actor Thomas Jane literally has no brain. I believe a better actor could of put his own spin on it and made it at least a 4 star movie. Best part of the movie was Ambyr Childers. Acting wasn't that bad and she's easy to look at. If you love Sci-fi you will hate how crappy this movie is. spoiler: Disgruntled lack luster police pretty boy, Roy - (Thomas Jane) doesn't like Vice. Vice is, Julian Michaels - (Bruce Willis) playground of created humanoids in which disturbed womb born humans like to go to release some of their crazy fetishes, such as: killing, raping, eating people. You know the usual creepy crap psychotics like to do. Further created humaniod Kelly - (Ambyr Childers) escapes vice. She narrowly escapes her prison despite all of the security guards with multiple automatic weapons aimed at her and an rpg. Mellow drama in between. Roy catches robot and creator of robot whom dies. Roy and Robot team up to take down Vice. blah blah blah. Tuned out movie cause it's so..... boring. Robot wins freedom, woot!
