Code 46 plot
"How do you solve a crime when the last thing you want to know is the truth?"
In the near future it will only be possible to leave the (heavily guarded) cities with a special travel ticket. Outside these cities, people (non-citizens) live very limited in poor conditions. William is an insurance inspector charged with investigating a case involving forged travel documents. This brings him to another city, where he meets Maria. Although she probably has something to do with the fakes, he falls in love with her. But his travel papers only allow a 24-hour stay.

Not uninteresting, but rather sterile and empty. And I'm not talking about the sterile background of limited reproductive opportunities, empty cities and having to get permits to enter or leave a city, but the clinical approach of our main characters and their rather implausible romance. Visually quite worth the effort, but didn't really like it. That so-called world language with every now and then a non-English word in between was pretty ridiculous BTW. Interesting failure. Let's see if I give the film another chance, or just swap the DVD. 3 cautious stars.

Beautiful!
Sci-Fi is not my genre, yet it is pleasant to find a believable, fascinatingly created futuristic world in a film. Fortunately no room for extravagant high-tech equipment and clownish, floating vehicles; Winterbottom serves up something much more interesting. The best find for me was the language potpourri, but the film is full of funny, yet realistic-looking inserts. A relevancy, almost.
Visually competently shot, but it is, in my opinion, mainly the soundtrack from which Code 46's atmosphere flows. Dreamy ambient sounds, which nicely complement the more emotional scenes. The moments when the film peaks. The story itself does not take on any great form, although on closer inspection this is hardly regrettable. The only thing that sometimes bothered me a little bit were the main characters. Not a bad cast by any means, but capable at best. Robbins came out the best - although a little unusual role for him - Morton could have done more with her character I think.
But otherwise a beautiful, smooth, and at times very ingenious film. Thick 3.5*.

Reasonable film about a man with a highly developed intuition who investigates a fraud case. This futuristic film creates a vision of the future in which personal freedoms are quite limited (this is also the most captivating thing about the film). Some atmospheric moments. Tim Robbins and Samantha Morton are not entirely convincing (the story also suffers from this). A meager 3.0 stars.
