Code 8
In the future, 4% of the population has supernatural abilities. But instead of being superheroes or billionaires, these ‘specials’ are shunned by society and subjected to constant monitoring by drones, the militarised police and their robotic guardians. When one desperate but powerful special, Connor Reed, is recruited by the head of a criminal organisation, he finally learns to unleash his powers.
Critic Reviews:
- " Essentially a humbler, grungier indie “X-Men” without the same dependence on splashy effects, “Code 8” is a solid genre effort from director Jeff Chan. " – Dennis Harvey
- " I saw the effort, even within the cliched crime story…they were actually trying to do something, and I appreciated that. " – Korey Coleman
- " Think heist movie with off-brand X-Men, and you'll be right on target. " – Rob Hunter
