Code 8 never really grabbed me, though I managed to watch it all the way through. Perhaps I am an outlier viewer, but I would have liked to see more time spent on why society lowered the status of the super-powered people to practically second class citizens. To me that might have been more compelling viewing than the details of Connor’s descent into crime or his mother’s rather stereotypical declining health. But within its narrow plot and limited number of interesting characters, it may have been less than great, but it was better than mediocre.
I thought the trailer made _Code 8_ look like it was gonna be pretty bad, but I liked the premise, and I wanted to see what Stephen Amell could do in a 2019 feature film, so I gave it a chance, and while I don’t think it was great, it was better than I had been expecting. There were some bits that sort of reminded me of last year’s _Darkest Minds_, and that’s definitely a bad thing, but overall it was actually pretty decent. It goes for both the social commentary, and a *pew pew splodey zap zap* action crime thriller. It doesn’t work **spectacularly** as either, but it tries, and its failures certainly are not abysmal ones._Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
Grim and Gritty
I think a few reviewers might have been disappointed that this wasn’t the kind of vibe you’d normally associate with the Super Hero genre.This is well made, scripted and acted with a dark, dystopian near-alternate future as its background.
If you’re looking for a darker approach with a little moral ambiguity you might enjoy this more than you expected to. Think “crime thriller” rather than supers.
Not perfect, but enjoyable
First I gotta say , After almost 8 years, It is kinda hard looking at Stephen Amell as anything but Arrow 😀 😀 I don’t know ,, even his role here you can see The Arrow’s personality is all over him.So the plot of the movie is fresh and genuine, connected at most of the time and easily followable ,, I wouldn’t say it is like the best thing there is on the big screen, but as I said it is enjoyable… and the VFX were simple but precise and good.
The cast were mostly good, love Stephen and Robbie Amell, they always engage with their roles to the fullest and end up giving their absolute best.
The movie is good, Recommended.
