A pre-Bond Pierce Brosnan plays a rogue scientist whose VR program turns simpleton Jeff Fahey into an evil genius.
The CG sequences have dated horrendously.
The writing, lensing and support cast were duff to begin with and this director’s cut bloats to an overweight 135 minutes.
Patchy extras include the awful 1996 sequel, which replaced Fahey with Matt ‘Max Headroom’ Frewer.
