Code 211

This was a mishmash of a movie. Wooden acting. Unrealistic. Bad plotting. Starts with a woman typing frantically on computer during a download. Why? Then people get blown up and killed for no apparent reason. Then the movie begins with a contrived situation about bullying so some kid can go on a ride along because it's in the script. After that, you have the tried and tired daughter and estranged father conflict. I like Nicolas cage. I think he's made some great movies -- i.e. Face/Off and Family Man -- but nothing worthwhile in at least 10 years. And worst of all, the acting was like planks of wood interacting. I could smell the ham from my computer. Someone obviously owed someone else a big favor otherwise this movie would never have been green lit.

Good action scenes, but terrible acting, awful script, cliched characters and predictable deaths.

This entertained me. Some of the acting was a bit hammy in parts. Cage and Dwayne Cameron are fine. Some of the others are weak though.

It's supposed to be based on a real event, the North Hollywood shootout in 1997. There's nothing similar between that event and this movie. So forget it. Sit back and enjoy a basic action movie

This movie by Nicolas Cage and company is another to add to the bad. Opening credits blew it when they pan a laptop showing a active transfer while she randomly strikes the keyboard senselessly. What were they expecting this to add more realism you could see she was not typing and nothing appears on the screen except the transfer process. Obviously the film's editor should cut this to the floor but they probably thought nobody would care, that's why this is a B movie.

This was just awful. Bad acting, bad script, bad director. I remember when Cage was box office gold. Gone but not forgotten. He should probably set his career on maybe a TV series, because his film days are gone. This was a real stink fest.
