Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Computer scientist Hannon Fuller (Armin Mueller-Stahl) finds something extremely important. Knowing that he's marked for assassination, he leaves a message in the virtual reality world he's designed, hoping it will be found by colleague Douglas Hall (Craig Bierko). Hall is a suspect in Fuller's murder and indeed finds a bloody shirt in his house, with no recollection of what he did the night before. Hall plunges headlong into Fuller's world (a re-creation of l937 Los Angeles) to try to unravel the slaying and is soon knee-deep in confusion and trouble. What this film lacks in character depth and plot cohesiveness it makes up for in special effects and high concept. Fans of films like Blade Runner, Dark City, eXistenZ, and even the game Sim City should find this appealing. Of course, there's the question of letting the computers do all the heavy lifting in films while the humans walk through the plot (an all-too-familiar scenario in 1999), but the re-creation of 30s Los Angeles is certainly something to see, pallid script and acting or not. The Thirteenth Floor is a stylish modern-day noir that raises questions about technology vs. reality, all the while wrapped up in a murder-mystery story line. --Jerry Renshaw
From the Back Cover
The barriers that separate fantasy from reality are shattered in this stylish, mind-jarring thriller,where two parrallel worlds collide in a paroxysm of deception, madness and murder.

From the Back Cover
The barriers that separate fantasy from reality are shattered in this stylish, mind-jarring thriller,where two parrallel worlds collide in a paroxysm of deception, madness and murder.
On the thirteenth floor of a corporate tower, high tech visionary Douglas Hall (Craig Bierko, The Long Kiss Goodnight ) and his highly strung colleague Whitney (Vincent D'Onofrio, Men in Black have opened the door to an amazing virtual world - circa 1937 Los Angeles.
But when the powerful leader of their secret project (Armin Mueller-Stahl, Shine, The X-Files ) is discovered slashed to death, Hall himself becomes the prime suspect. Arriving from Paris is the beautiful and mysterious Jane Fuller (Gretchen Mol, Rounders who claims to be the murdered victim's daughter. Her instant, magnestic attraction to Hall only further blurs the lines of what is real. Is he the killer? Is the inscrutable Jane somehow connected? To find the answers, Hall must cross the boundaries into the simulated reality he has helped create - and confront the astonishing truth of his own existence.
