Editorial Review:Description:In the riveting style of BLADE RUNNER, NIRVANA is the futuristic thriller starring Christopher Lambert (HIGHLANDER franchise, MORTAL KOMBAT) as a video game designer whose latest creation becomes dangerously real! At a giant multinational corporation, Jimi (Lambert) is a successful programmer excited about the launch of his realistic new game, Nirvana. But just days before it hits the streets, he learns that the game's main character has developed the ability to think and act on his own. As this acclaimed story unfolds, Jimi must locate a hacker who can crack the company's impenetrable data banks and destroy the program before it's released!

I like Christopher Lambert and have most of his films but this one was a total waste.
To begin the sound was obviously dubbed in and done badly at that. Most of the actors were not speaking english and it showed. those who were did not have the sound track in synk with the dialouge.
Second the story made little sense as it jumped around to much. I suppose if all you want is mindless action you might enjoy this but I prefer a good story with something to say. To this I say don't bother.

And Matrix owns a lot to ...

In the tradition of The Crimson Rivers and Druids, this French language film loses something in the translation. But the idea is novel, even if it has been used before. It's not a great Lambert film, but's it worth it for die-hard fans.
The film follows Jimi Dini (Lambert) - a computer game programer, who's latest game is infected with a virus. The result - the game's main character get's a mind of his own and realizes that nothing's real, even him. He begs Lambert to destroy the game, so Lambert ...
