Code 8

The Amell brothers decided to dive into some sci-fi filmmaking, and for now, they’ve prepared this little gem for us to sample. I wasn’t expecting anything great, but it surprised me. The idea of people with exceptional abilities has been done a thousand times before, but that didn’t bother me at all. Once the window was smashed, everything kicked into high gear. The drop of the robotic police officers had the right punch; I could easily envision a whole film in that spirit. So far, I’ve found out that they raised $1.7 million, so we’ll see if we get to see these police robots in a feature film. It’s clear that it has potential, so the key is to come up with a solid plot. I give it 75%. (26.02.2017)

Code 8 plays out a ten-minute story with a good and really imaginative plot, so I'll definitely be looking forward to the feature film if it actually comes to fruition. It would be a shame not to tap into such potential, which was noticeable even in those few minutes. (28.08.2016)
