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: 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.

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.

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

Summary: What was this movie trying to say?
Comment: This movie has very realistic, great-looking sets, good music, and accomplished actors. It is also rather plodding, relying on scenery to take the place of dialog, and meaningful looks to take the place of character development.
And the movie's message? To me it seemed to be that the government doesn't want you to have a baby with your sister, so it is illegal. Gotta say, if I interpreted that correctly, I'm gonna have to side with the government on this one.
Maybe codes 1-45 were more interesting. ;-)

Summary: It's about more than emotion vs. science
Comment: I saw this movie some years ago and liked it a lot. What I remember most about it is something that is not mentioned in the last ten or so reviews: that it is not only government that has taken away liberties in this dystopian world, but also, and critically, private corporations.
Every significant movement in this future is sanctioned by insurance companies ("do you have cover?"). If you don't have coverage (i.e. insurance coverage) for your trip to the grocery, you can't go. (the papelles were proof of cover). In this way, the people have signed away, contractually, a most basic civil liberty, privacy and the freedom to move about without being monitored.
Of course there's the sociological/scientific foundation or justification for this in the story, but what remained in my memory is how this apparently came to be in a western, essentially democratic world. That's what stuck with me in this movie and it's an important concept for people to be aware of. You have liberties. Don't just give them away for sake of convenience.
