Since I mentioned it...
In the far future of 1999, virtual reality is so far advanced people are being trained to fight crime... where people are criminals who are testing the system. One such is ex-cop Parker Barnes, who went away for killing the man who killed his family. However, to provide a good test, he is up against Sid 6.7, who is every bad guy combined, including the killer, who of course is dominant. Due to horniness, Sid escapes into the real world, and only Parker can track him down, despite being continually set up as the bad guy. But, hey, at least guns are free and plenty.
It's Denzel Washington being Denzel Washington, so very watchable (and he gets to beat up a nazi!). Russel Crowe is eating all the scenery (literally in one scene), and gloriously hamming it up. There's also a collection of other famous faces, and a very young Kelly Cuoco!
This is pure cheese, but it isn't really trying for anything else. Everyone just looks to be enjoying themselves, although no-one as much as Russell Crowe.
Watch for a laugh, not for deep philosophy.
