The Thirteenth Floor (1999)

The Thirteenth Floor: Directed by Josef Rusnak. With Craig Bierko, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Gretchen Mol, Vincent D’Onofrio. A computer scientist running a virtual reality simulation of 1937 becomes the primary suspect when his colleague and mentor is murdered.

“A small simulation set in 1937 has been created. Our main character discovers that his recently murdered partner (the simulators creator) has been using the simulation before its release for human trial. He also discovers that a message has been left in the system for him to find. A message that promises to ultimately change everything.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI recommend this film to all those who enjoyed eXistenZ etc. Fans of David Lynch will not be disappointed either. If you are a great fan of Lynch, then you will see this as an easy to follow film that has some nice turns and twists without forcing you to pause and rewind or watch again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film manages to persuade you of the complex simulated world without spending too much of its budget on special effects, unlike the matrix, which ultimately destroyed itself by its overdone sequels. Great set of actors here too. Ones that deserve the job title u0026quot;actoru0026quot; and have many creditations to their name.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am surprised that this little effort hasnu0026#39;t been more popular since it manages to get a complex story line and make it very easy to follow without becoming bogged down with the characters explaining each scene (ergo the matrix).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, definitely one to watch and one to own.”
