What if the person you desired most was the one person you were forbidden to love? OscarÂ(r) winner* Tim Robbins and OscarÂ(r) nominee** Samantha Morton "make a sexy and moving pair of desperadoes" (Entertainment Weekly) in this "provocative, quietly erotic" (Premiere)sci-fi thriller from the director of 24 Hour Party People. In the near future, privileged classes live and work "inside" cities, while non-citizens scratch out a miserable existence "outside" in a vast desert. People cannot leave their designated zones without special visas known as"papeles." When fraudulent papeles surface, Seattle investigator William Geld (Robbins) travels to Shanghai to ferret out the culprit and meets Maria Gonzalez (Morton) a woman with whom he has a passionate affair but breaks one of society's harshest laws: Code 46. *2003: Supporting Actor, Mystic River **2003: Actress, In America; 1999: Supporting Actress, Sweet and Lowdown

Summary: One of My Favorite Sci-Fi Films
Comment: Superb acting. Clever writing. A haunting soundtrack. This film is a piece of art. Enjoy it.

Summary: FRACTURED, THOUGH BEAUTIFUL
Comment: I enjoyed the quiet desperation of the main protaganists ( Tim Robbins, and Samantha Morton ) in this visually stunning film. Still I found the plot to be under-developed, and somewhat derivative of GATTACA, BLADERUNNER, LOGAN'S RUN and HARDWARE. The quiet sensuality of the illegal affair between the main characters is a nice, though again, evocative counterpoint to the dehumanized, prohibitive, and coldly sanctioned society of the privileged world that William ( Robbins ) is a part of. One of the most glaring problems with the movie's premise was why wouldn't the-powers-that-be in this neatly packaged, little world simply forbid conception between clones with similar genetic patterns, instead of 'love' altogether?
The music was quite good, and helped the choppy plot tremendously. The camerawork was exceptional, and Robbins and Morton were convincing as fateful lovers. There is imagery in the film that will stay with you well after the movie ends, and that make up for some the story's basic problems. It is worth seeing.

Summary: almost great
Comment: If you liked "Gattaca"," Blade Runner" and "I am Legend", then this movie would be highly recommended.
The effects are not worth mentioning; they should have used different cars and different clothing; this would have made a big difference. In the meantime the dialogue and the story is all very interesting and worth your time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A fun heavy converstion based film
Comment: Over all this will only be liked by poeple who whish theycould write movies. I thought the movie moved along a suprising quick pace. The code only comes up once if I remember it correcrtly, it brings up a intresting thought or two. Overall I think the movie was overlooked Tim was really good in it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Dreadful movie
Comment: I like Tim Robbins a lot. Unfortunately, his talent was utterly wasted in this dreadful movie. What's so fascinating about adultery? The whole concept of people speak English with a little Chinese and Spanish thrown in is ridiculous. Stay away from this one.
Your trusted reviewer, as always
