Review of Code 8 (2019) by Tvjerry — 24 Apr 2020
Other than the sci-fi angle, this film's plot is totally trite: Innocent, well-meaning man gets embroiled in a drug deal to help save his ailing mother. What makes it unique is that some of the people in this future-ish world have special "powers" that, instead of making them heroes, relegates them to being persecuted (haven't they seen the X-Men movies?).
Robbie Amell plays the central character with average leading man skills. His dilemma and the subsequent action is certainly not original or exceptional. If you're able to get past this, you'll be in for a very average crime drama with a very small quotient of special effects.
