Code 8 ( 2019 )
In Lincoln City, some inhabitants have extraordinary abilities. Most live below the poverty line, under the close surveillance of a heavily militarized police force. Connor, a construction worker with powers, involves with a criminal gang to help his ailing mother. (Based on the short film “Code 8,” 2016.)
This is one of those movies that you 'expect' to be crap, but then surprises the hell out you. A decent enough story, decent cast, well-acted, good direction, reasonable effects and generally quite a pleasant surprise. It's not going to win any Oscars, but it will give you a decent evening of entertainment if this is your sort of thing. I really enjoyed it.
