Action Hero MoviesAlso called The Code in some regions, this movie gets off to a simple TV action-drama style beginning. Not unpleasant, and not boring, but not wowing either. Just a bit average. If it continues at the pace it got going with, it’s set for a Bang Average rating.
By an hour in, this movie has become decent action with a simple but engaging story for a first time viewer. Add to this decent actors, and in a sense it’s a pretty good movie, but the plot is still very thin, the whole movie is very one dimensional and the action is very simplistic — not bad just simplistic — so it looks fixed for a Bang Average rating still, but that’s not a bad score — it puts it level with many semi-dated classics.
The bundle of plot twists at the end made a nice way to round off the movie — just when you thought the story was clear, there were more twists still unfolding, making it eventually quite original in this way.
