- 50The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyBad doesn’t have to mean boring. Case in point: Vice, a bargain-bin high-concept sci-fi thriller full of Joel Schumacher-esque canted Steadicam moves, leaden expository dialogue, and cheap fluorescents-glued-to-the-wall sets.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreVice is a low-budget sci-fi thriller that borrows heavily from “Blade Runner” and “Westworld,” and serves as an answer to the question “How much movie can you get when you shoot your $10 million film in Mobile, Alabama? The answer is, quite a lot — with modernist buildings, striking control room sets and the city’s docks serving as a backdrop.
- 38Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperA loud, dopey chase film filled with substandard shootouts.
- 33Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyEntertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyEverything about Vice feels like recycled goods. It's basically "Westworld" meets "Blade Runner" programmed by glitchy filmmaking replicators.
- 30Village VoiceChris PackhamVillage VoiceChris PackhamThe film unspools with a momentum that mitigates its artless brutality, kinda, but it's a high-pressure firehose of stupid.
- 20The DissolveNathan RabinThe DissolveNathan RabinPerversely low-budget and oddly devoid of imagination, Vice seems less like a proper film than a bargain-basement SyFy pilot, shot on the cheap and drafting off Willis and Jane’s star power. It’s about androids aching to be real, but it doesn’t have an ounce of genuine humanity in its tin heart.
- 12Slant MagazineClayton DillardSlant MagazineClayton DillardVice takes the basic premise from 1973's Westworld and morphs it into an incoherent slog.
- Dull and lifeless, Vice fails on the promise of even its lowest ambitions.
- 0New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanHere’s hoping Bruce Willis bought something special with whatever cash he earned from this pointless, brutally ugly rehash of 1973’s “Westworld.”
- 0The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisEvidencing more bullets than brains, Vice — a bit of ephemeral science-fiction twaddle directed by Brian A. Miller — has absolutely nothing to recommend it.
