Reviews

The Code has received a mix of positive and critical reactions, earning an IMDb rating of 7.5/10. Critics from Rotten Tomatoes praised the film's complex plot and the performance of Eric Allman, noting his 'gripping portrayal of a man caught in the intricate web of cyber espionage' as a standout element. Metacritic reviews also highlighted the film's suspenseful narrative, with one reviewer stating, 'The Code keeps you on the edge of your seat with its clever twists and well-crafted tension.' On the other hand, some critics felt the film's pacing was uneven and its technical jargon could be confusing for a non-specialist audience. One critique on Rotten Tomatoes mentioned, 'While 'The Code' excels in creating a thrilling atmosphere, it occasionally gets bogged down in its own complexity.' Overall, 'The Code' is lauded for its strong performances and engaging story, though it may be more appreciated by those with an interest in technology and cybercrime.
