This film is a rare chance to see a young Russell Crowe in one of his earliest major Hollywood roles as the villainous SID 6.7. He plays a virtual reality entity synthesized from the personalities of over 150 serial killers.
Since you have a 1080p HD version, you'll be able to clearly see the "morphing" effects and the colorful, Joker-esque purple suit worn by Russell Crowe, which were considered high-end for 1995.
The villain, SID, is able to "regenerate" his synthetic body by consuming glass , which the nanotech in his body uses to repair itself.
