Review of The Code

The Code (I) (2009)
5/10
Straight to DVD, so you probably rented it anyway. Not a complete waste of money.

This movie was a fun waste of time. It kept me awake until the end, mostly because of the Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas. It's totally understandable why they did this movie. 1) Morgan Freeman was previously in Deep Impact, which had the same director. Either he did it as a favor to her, or he wanted to work with her again. 2) Who wouldn't want to be in a movie with Morgan Freeman? I think explains the presence of Mr. Banderas. This movie is a really fun straight-to-DVD picture. If you're expecting a masterpiece from a movie that you can't even see in a theater in the States, then you'll definitely be disappointed. But if you're expecting a fun B movie and you want to see Antonio Banderas in some compromising situations, then you will be pleased. It looked like all the actors had a great time making this picture, and that they put some heart into it. Everyone needs a little vacation from taking themselves so seriously. That's what this movie will give you, and probably what it gave to the actors. The Code is absolutely worth the $2.99 you probably paid to rent it.
