The Thirteenth Floor has an amazing premise and some great ideas. Shame that it's also mired by terrible dialogue, B-movie plotting, and a cheap looking production.

79/100 A software engineer connects into a virtual reality simulation, created by his boss, to discover who murdered said boss. This was quite fascinating for a film I never really paid attention to before. The concepts are quite heady and difficult to grasp at first as we watch people connect to virtual counterparts ...or are they? Each revelation towards the truth of what's happening was a delight to watch play …
