Critics Consensus

Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane are visibly bored by the dreary material in this sci-fi hodgepodge, proving that star power in service of a lousy script is no virtue.

A poor man's Surrogates in worse taste and even more forgettable.

I really wanted to like this movie. I'm sure if Bruce Willis who played Julian Michaels, was the main character it would have been much better. Instead Thomas Jane took the lead on this one as a character named Roy. For some reason they have his character sucking on stick matches, maybe they felt he needed to butch up or something I don't know but it gave his character a cheap image. So one of the clones, Kelly, gets loose and is on the run, she meets up with her maker Evan who happens to have cloned her in his wife's image. They would have gotten away cleanly if it wasn't for Roy who plays a very inexperienced and sloppy cop who lead the bad guys right to them ending in Evan being killed and Roy feeling no remorse. Kelly and Roy team up when Roy gives her the option to help him or leave stating he won't stop her, should have thought of that before he got Evan killed. Long story short Roy and Kelly end the organization called Vice, killing Julian, or did they...

When your basically ripping off the plot of Westworld you ain't really going to have a bad movie.

I don't understand how copycat movies like this get made without a dozen lawsuits claiming copyright infringement. Maybe, because this movie is so bad, none of the other franchises want to admit that their product is close enough to the train wreck to warrant a lawsuit. This movie is so derivative of other intellectual property, I think the moviemakers simply put existing plot points into a hat, gave it a toss, and filmed whatever they pulled out. Typical Bruce Willis late career crap.

An awful reimagining of Westworld. 400 bullets fired at a single target without hitting anything.

Sometimes the acting is good enough, sometimes is laughable, sometimes the writing comes out of the worst subreddit, but overall, it passed the time.

Bruce Willis plays the CEO of a futuristic resort where perfectly human-looking androids exist to fulfill their clients' deepest, darkest desires - none of which, it can safely be said, involve watching movies as relentlessly mediocre as this one.

"Vice" is "Blade Runner" on the cheap and minus the imagination.

Kyle Smith

New York Post

Recombining elements of "Blade Runner," "Strange Days" and "A.I." makes Bruce Willis' "Vice" an intriguing sci-fi thriller, but in the end it doesn't do enough with its ideas.

Rated: 2/4

Movie Talk

The acting ranges from amateurish (Childers) to bored (Willis, smirk barely disguising his lack of interest), the script gets bogged down in lumpy exposition, and the action is unexciting.

Rated: 1/5

FILMINK (Australia)

Even with Willis - who looks like he was only needed for a day's filming - phoning it in, in every conceivable way, it still manages to be a hell of a lot of fun.

Rated: 3/5

Bruce Willis sleepwalks through this terrible science fiction film that's short on science, but long on mindless gunfire.
