I’m surprised at the low ratings for this film, I thought it was excellent.

It’s a simple tale, told well.

Lots of action from start to finish, great acting and production etc.

It’s a 90 minute film, but it seemed to be over very quickly; which shows how involved I was in the story.

It’s different, not predictable and I loved the simplicity of the story.

Great film!

Agreed! I thought it was great! Simple, yes, but I thought it was a great story with strong characters.

First of all, its a pretty cool feeling knowing that you helped produce this film on indiegogo (or kickstarter, whichever one it was). I was impressed by how well made it was. It felt like a big budget movie.

Second, the story was great. A few things happened that I didn't expect to.

[spoiler]The only thing that I didn't like was the ending... It needed 5 more minutes to explain what the hell just happened. Connor said he's going to make things right. But nothing happened. He visits his mom's grave. Then what? He's back where he started, minus having a mom? [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Did Garrett essentially replace Marcus with that deal? [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Did Park not end up having powers? I definitely thought he was going to have powers. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]So Nia got to visit her dad in prison. That's not really a happy ending for her, is it? [/spoiler]

Maybe I missed something while I was watching...

@rlevitz I too felt that. What he meant by making things right.

@rlevitz I agree with every single thing that you said, however the part that you mentioned about it being on Kickstarter or Indiegogo I had no idea, hell, I didn't know anything about this movie until I had seen it in other people's favorites, then watched the trailer for it, it looked interesting, so I grabbed a copy and watched it. Your comment was brilliant, well said!

@rlevitz Didn't know it was an indiegogo film. The production quality is superb, it looked very top-of-the line. I'm impressed! [spoiler] > Did Garrett essentially replace Marcus with that deal? I don't think that's really relevant to the story being told. He got out of his money-debt issues, and was also free, rather than to work under the other Marcus. He was essentially free, and that's really the big point here. [/spoiler] [spoiler] > Did Park not end up having powers? I definitely thought he was going to have powers. No. They never painted him to be. Quite the contrary, he was more humane because he could see his pairs discriminating, and could empathize with those with power since his daughter was one of them. [/spoiler] [spoiler] > So Nia got to visit her dad in prison. That's not really a happy ending for her, is it? She starts the movie a slave to a monster. The fact that she was free to visit a beloved one by herself reflects her newfound freedom. Considering where she started, that **is** a happy ending. [/spoiler]

This movie could’ve been so great but it had a terrible script & poor execution. Visuals were about the only good thing in this movie. So many things unexplained. Rushed ending. And not enough character development.

If you got 90 mins to waste & nothing better going on in your life, watch it. Otherwise move on, you’re not missing anything great.

Honestly, this movie was pretty good. The story and visuals were engaging and there was plenty of action to keep things going. My biggest complaint is really just the ending. There was so much left unexplained and didn't quite make sense. If I were the producer of this, I would've looked at the script and said: "This needs to be a series, not a movie." That way there would be more sufficient character development and truly satisfying ending.

Producer 1: Hey, do you wanna make a movie where individuals with special super powers symbolize undocumented aliens?
Producer 2: Why do that when we can make a worse than average heist movie?
Producer 1: Good idea! I've got just the clichés...

_Code 8_ posited some interesting questions and then fell asleep before it could give us any answers.

Strangely, this movie is also listed here and has a higher rating. Maybe the admins could amalgamate the 2 for accuracy.

A very good generic movie, i woud even call it a "filler movie", cause theres nothing to absolute hate about it or to looooove either, its pretty stable and ok to watch if you are having a boring day.

But in the end, it as entertaining, and acomplished what they promised.

Pretty basic story with a pretty recognizable Canadian cast. The story would have benefited from depth in the dynamics between the characters. The villain and hero were written pretty black and white. The mother and son relationship was the only relationship with depth so the loss of life of any other characters had no impact leaving the action arc rather hollow. I give this film a 6 (fair) out of 10. [SciFi Powered Crime]

Sci-fi that's not a big budget, watered down, summer blockbuster (and that also isn't SyFy garbage) is often hard to find. Code 8 fills the niche of "decent sci-fi, decently done" pretty well. It covers some well-worn territory (mutant registration, police state dystopia, heisting, and gang politics), but it does it all well enough and with enough commitment from everyone involved to keep you vested. There's some genre tropes it rides, sure, but it's not so eye-rolling obvious you won't mind. I was generally surprised by Code 8, in a good way, and most sci-fi genre fans should also quite enjoy it.

It's tough times for those with super powers, using them is illegal and the police shoot first ask questions later. Interesting premise and some cool crime underworld elements thrown in the mix.

This movie was awesome, original, and created from a shoestring budget short film. It blows away anything the top dogs in Hollywood have done in the past 5 years.
