The Thirteenth Floor by Josef Rusnak

The Thirteenth Floor is a 1999 science fiction crime thriller film directed by Josef Rusnak and loosely based upon Simulacron-3 (1964), a novel by Daniel F. Galouye.

Director Josef Rusnak keeps things looking stylish in both of the story’s dimensions, while the script, loosely adapted from Daniel F. Galouye’s novel Simulacron-3, remains slyly twisty from its beginning through shortly before its conclusion. The overly conventional third act lets the air out of The Thirteenth Floor, as Bierko’s flat performance does pretty much throughout.
