My quick rating - 4,9/10. For a pretty decent idea, this movie ended up being far to flawed to be noteworthy. The idea that the virtual reality that the people are using isn't so virtual after all is a good plot, but the mystery that is concocted is just not plausible. This isn't in a sci fi give me a break way, it is just the ideas presented didn't ever work out in the script itself. I was more bored seeing what the characters would do than immersed into the concept itself. Too bad, it was a nice sci fi noir touch in being black and white (for no good reason) but not something to ever watch again (i watched twice to make sure).
