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.
