Humorless but unpretentious, the film will play well with those seeking new takes on superhero tropes... while others will resent having a still-viable non-comics genre infected by angsty mutants. Dec 13, 2019 | Full Review…

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. Dec 12, 2019 | Full Review…

The ideas outpace the action in a movie that's clearly been made with passion and intelligence, but without the kind of zip that this kind of story demands. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review…

In many instances, Code 8 is exhilarating, gruesome, and touching, and its unique premise may very well be appreciated across genres. Jan 9, 2020 | Full Review…

Noteworthy more for its ambition than execution, this science-fiction crime thriller features strong production values but a wobbly script. Dec 13, 2019 | Full Review…

Code 8 works better as a proof of concept than a standalone sci-fi thriller, serving up fascinating world-building with a fairly basic story. Dec 12, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Either way, it's a lot of future to absorb in 98 minutes. But in the spirit of the movie I say: More powers to him. Dec 9, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Code 8 is an electrifying film featuring ordinary people with powers in a tough world. It's a gritty and realistic take that's a nice change of pace in the superhero genre. Dec 5, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

An investment that definitely paid off, Code 8 is a thrill a minute must-see that delivers a fresh take on superpowers and features a scene-stealing performance from Robbie Amell. Dec 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
