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
