The Code Streaming.
Movie Title: The Code The Code is available for streaming or downloading. |
The only reason I picked this movie up [as a rental] was because of Morgan Freeman, an actor I’ve always respected and admired. The fact that Antonio Banderas plays opposite him also intrigued me, and then there’s the glorious Radha Mitchell. So, the view of these three together in a movie kind of made it an though-provoking choice, though I have to say I was disappointed with the results.

The movie is a standard heist film - Antonio Banderas plays Gabriel aka Gaby, an armed bandit who encounters Morgan Freeman’s character, Ripley whilst pulling off a robbery on a subway enlighten. Ripley sees potential in the relatively younger Gaby and persuades him to join him in a heist at the famed Romanov’s Jewelers. The objects of desire are two prized Faberge eggs whose existence have never been officially acknowledged but which Ripley assures Gaby are very powerful in existence and priceless [well, about 40 million]. Anyway, as Gaby agrees to be Ripley’s sidekick, he finds himself falling for Ripley’s Russian goddaughter [played by Radha Mitchell]. Things accumulate more complicated when a detective resentful of not being able to convict Ripley for his past heists starts putting the heat on the pair, despite being warned off by the Feds [who are investigating the Russian jewelers]. When Radha Mitchell’s character gets kidnapped, Ripley and Gaby are forced to accelerate against time to pull off the heist of a lifetime with some racy site twists along the arrangement.
What worked for me - the acting was credible on the whole, despite the listless and at times, implausible position. There is no great chemistry between Freeman and Banderas, and the pairing seems awkward. The legend itself is uninspired - there have been so many other heist movies that were grand better than this, and so I felt let down by the writing and the direction.

What does work is the chemistry between Banderas and Mitchell. Radha Mitchell is a very pleasing actress and she pulls off her role convincingly, playing a rather enigmatic character who seems to know more than she is letting on. The pair sizzle on-screen which helps the romance share of the movie,which happens to be another focus in this film. The heist section of the movie is rather former, though the action picks up when Ripley and Gaby finally smash into the jewelers, though once again, there is nothing original here.
On the whole, I’d recommend this as a rental at best - like I mentioned earlier, there are mighty better heist movies out there and “The Code” does not bring anything original to the table.
There are three approved leads in this that could beget it a must-see, but in the slay the chemistry only hits the designate with Radha Mitchell. We have a standard heist film with plenty of location twists (five in the last ten minutes) and suspenseful moments being supplied by Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas. Radha plays the goddaughter of Morgan’s world distinguished thief, Banderas plays the sidekick who falls for her.
Plenty of homages here, even down to the dance scene from Basic Instinct. They attach the same shirt on Banderas as Douglas, and a sexier more revealing dress on Mitchell - both grinding to some rave music. A very similar scene from Entrapment but Banderas instead of Zeta-Jones, and the list continues. There are also some wrathful Russians, ego-driven Federal officers, and rebellious NYPD hot shots filling the supporting ranks. What makes this watchable is wondering where the twists might reach in and seeing if they can pull off the impossible heist.
The Blu clarity looks mammoth at times, average in various other indoor scenes. The music makes the 5.1 rep utilized the most, and the supplements add a dry logistical feel to the rest. The cast interviews are forgettable and mismanaged, and the documentary gives some generic insight on production. Normally I would rate this similar in stars to the other reviewer, but the entire package makes for an delicious evening, filled with memorable scenes and Radha Mitchell finally playing an erotic rated R role.
