Jack Riley Independent (UK) The dialogue is stilted, the plot as thin as Banderas's hair, and even the plethora of twists can't rescue the movie from mediocrity. May 6, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a hopelessly uneven endeavor that's consistently buoyed by Freeman's mere presence... Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 4, 2010 Full Review Dragan Antulov Draxblog Movie Reviews The sadness created by this film could be cured only by its quick descent in well-deserved oblivion. Rated: 3/10 Dec 17, 2009 Full Review Jason McKiernan Filmcritic.com sloppy, lazy, and unable to keep up with its own con. Rated: 1/5 Aug 20, 2009 Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com Don't let the big names fool you: The Code is limp enough a thriller to deserve the direct-to-video treatment it's received.

Test T I watched this on DVD recently. It was better than I had imagined it would be, but there were a couple of things I didn't like. The story was good, and I liked most of the characters. Morgan Freeman's attendance carries the film, but I also enjoyed Rade Serbedzija's convincing crime boss performance. My main problem was with casting Antonio Banderas as the lead, because his Spanish personality traits did not seem a good fit for this movie set in New York, and the use of Spanish musical themes made this worse. I appreciated the sountrack's use of t.A.T.u 'Not gonna get us' which I thought fitted perfectly, and added edgy excitement and dynamism. My other issue was the lack of quality lighting. The movie has a lot of nighttime and indoor scenes, and it was a constant struggle attempting to see what was going on. Putting those things aside, I did enjoy the movie, but I think with a few tweaks it should have been much better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Jelisije J A nice little heist movie with two strong leads that will keep you entertained throughout its run time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Um filme de ladrões, e temos Banderas e Freeman. Dois ícones de #Holywood e a cereja do bolo Mitchell como sendo a afilhada de Freman. Será que estes 2 darão certo? Um gatuno com uma raposa velha. É claro que não. E como diz o ditado; "Ladrão que rouba ladrão, tem 100 anos de perdão". E oque ocorre neste filme. Mas como sempre aquele que pensamos que vai levar no "toba" ocorre uma reviravolta no final. Quem será que ficará com a cara de tacho? Como diz outro ditado; "Ri melhor, quem ri por ultimo". Como existem vários filmes do gênero, este fica entre os intermediários, nem ótimo e nem ruim. Poderia ser trabalhado mais a estoria com genialidade. Faltou aqui. Roteiro e enredo faltou, faltou química, inteligência e aquela pitada. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra opção. Nota: 5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Sameir A Well, this is a movie to watch for fun, when your favorite stars are in. Nothing special or amazing. Just the usual stuff, even the greatest twists are predictable from the beginning. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/27/21 Full Review jay s Stereotypical, trite, and crappy. What on earth a Russian subway car is doing in a new york tube? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review byron z The critics got this one right! I could not watch this movie. I don't remember how far I made it in before I gave up, but there was something that just did not click with me. Boring plot. Dragged on and on.
