    Computer technician Craig Bierko finds himself the main suspect when his boss — the mastermind behind a computer simulation of 1937 Los Angeles populated with programmed inhabitants who are oblivious to their actual origin — is found murdered. Though Bierko's subsequent investigation uncovers plenty of twists and turns, most viewers will have a pretty good idea of the final explanation after the first third of the movie is over. Predictable as it is, this still retains some interest. The computer simulation of the 1930s world perfectly re-creates the era, the performances are acceptable, and the script makes each sequence play out in an intelligent and plausible fashion.

  • Confusing science-fiction, involving time travel into the past and the future; the problem is, nothing very interesting happens there, or in the present.

    Question everything

    13th Floor, without giving too much away, is vaguely similar to "The Matrix" but without the kung fu. It’s a more thoughtful version. Whether this is a good or a bad thing you decide.

    The storyline is very cleverly thought out, and backed up by some solid performances. The director does a fine job of dropping in little hints and red herrings along the way. This film requires your attention for you to enjoy it, but as it is well directed and grabs it, you don’t have to battle to enjoy the film.

    If you enjoy films that leave you questioning afterwards then I highly recommend "The 13th Floor"

    A Bit rubbish

    I got this film throught the door, put it on and then realised I saw it on TV a couple of years ago and I didn't think much of it then. Silly, and predictable. Trying to be a bit like Lawnmomwer man....and fails.

    Typical good looking smart guy falls for murder victims daughter and they set about solving the case surrounding the hi tech virtual reality gizmos blah blah blah blah....

    Bierko added to Scary Movie 4 cast

    • 06 Oct 2005

    Scary Movie 4, which has already started filming, has added Craig Bierko to its cast for the next instalment of horror movie silliness from David Zucker. Bierko recently starred in Ron Howard's Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger and Paul Giamatti. It is an interesting change of venture for Bierko, who was also in Morgan Freeman's The Cherry Picker, The Thirteenth Floor and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Regina Hall, who has been in the previous three Scary Movie films will be... Read more
