Movie Reviews of The Code
Movie Review: Great Little Heist Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This one had so many twists and turns, I was totally surprised at the ending.
The two main characters are very likeable. At first, I had one impression of them, but that changed by the end of the movie. It changed in a good way.
Morgan Freeman did an excellent job as the old thief who is in with the Russian mob. Then there is Antonio Banderas (HEEE'S SOOO SEXXXYYY!!!) sorry, just a little SNL moment. Anyway, he is great as the younger thief that Freeman wants to be partners with. Radha Mitchell was great as the romantic interest. And then there is Robert Forster, a great character actor and I always like seeing him.
I wasn't sure what to expect out of this movie, but by the end, I had a smile on my face. Can't ask for more than that. Highly recommended.
