jgreggs-88023 Review of Code 8: Part II

Code 8: Part II (2024)

Didn't realize part 1 had a sequel, glad it did.

[7/10 · 4 March 2024]

I think the story is a classic but done in an interesting dilemma, typical archetypes and twists but ultimately it made me cheer and jeer for characters so how can i complain. I think the dilemma of safe streets at the cost of corruption has been explored but this is the first time where I genuinely sided with the villain. It left me conflicted for most of the movie and even at the end when we are all supposed to side with the Protagonist and his companions I genuinely thought I think they're wrong, the system the main villain had was honestly better. Again, typical action movie but I wish they delved into the villain motivation more but it got me emotional and conflicted so how can you not say job well done. Worth a watch for sure.
