Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Nemesis42 Excellent Sci-fi, worth it for the authentic period scenes alone. Great casting and production design, with just the right amount of characters to weave a magnetic noir thriller. The period sections include professional dancers and bands; this has been brilliantly crafted. Another chameleon appearance by Vincent D'Onofrio too. Some philosophical questions dominate. Well worth the watch

hellholehorror This is the type of head-funk film that you need to watch twice. Although having now watched it twice I think that you should only ever watch it once – a lot is lost on the second viewing. It is confusing but when you get your head around the concept it becomes very interesting and pertinent. One problem though is that this kind of film will date badly. It already looks a bit preposterous in some ways. Possibly that was deliberate as nothing is tangible. Or should that be nothing is intangible? Just want to confirm that the effects look cheesy but overall it is fine to watch – the camera-work was a touch static – I do like that jittery new style. Apart from the strong thoughts that I cannot get out of my head I would still say how powerful this exploration into our mind's reality is. A little more action and graphical effects would have been nice although this is only a minor gripe. It is possibly a bit predictable too but not a long way in advance. Made me think a little too much possibly, I may unravel the mystery... The tacked-on love story is stupid but the premise is clever and gripping.

gavin6942 Computer scientist Hannon Fuller has discovered something extremely important. He is about to tell the discovery to his colleague, Douglas Hall, but knowing someone is after him, the old man leaves a letter in the computer generated parallel world his company has created.Right off the bat, I have to say how good of a role this is for Vincent D'Onofrio. He has spent much of his career in mediocre roles, but should be praised for the great actor he is. This should go right up alongside "Full Metal Jacket" and "Daredevil".Beyond that, this is a great mind-bending science fiction film, with virtual reality and worlds within worlds. Things may not be as they seem. In a very general sense, it shares some common themes with "Dark City", which came out around the same time. Strangely, "Dark City" is the better known film, though they are equally good science fiction detective stories.

Python Hyena The Thirteenth Floor (1999): Dir: Josfe Rusack / Cast: Craig Bierko, Gretchen Mol, Vincent D'Onofrio, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Dennis Haysbert: While the title clichés its numeral, the film itself is clever with wonderful production values. A computer researcher transports himself through the mind back to 1937. He gives an envelope to a bartender, makes a phone call, then proceeds outside where he is murdered. Craig Bierko plays his partner who is framed for the murder. He encounters Gretchen Mol who was cut from her father's will only days before his murder. Effective art direction displays 1930's galore with director Josfe Rusack having fun with the constant plot twists. Unfortunately the film also becomes confusing at points but relies on effective casting. Bierko displays confusion and determination as to whether or not he is guilty of murder and whether the cards deal him well in the end. Mol is the key victim who discovers information about herself. Here again is another tragedy that is questionable in its dealings. Vincent D'Onofrio plays a bartender who factors in with ill results. Armin Mueller-Stahl is only seen in the opening before the murder but his role transpires throughout. Dennis Haysbert plays a detective investigating this bizarre case. Its virtual reality is not well explained but it plays on suspense as oppose to mindless action. Score: 6 / 10
