Code 11-14 (2003)

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This film is so stupid, so predictable and just so over the top it is quite entertaining to laugh at. The FBI guy is a complete and utter idiot; he should be keeping matters cool and calm on the aeroplane but instead he runs around like a madman throwing innocent passengers aside. He is a complete nut case; he shouts at staff and is aggressive to everyone he comes in contact with. Constantly seems to stare at people so much the twist at the end should have been that he was the killer himself.His wife is annoying for reasons posted by previous viewers and the main villain is so obvious I wonder how films like this get the greenlight.Bad, really bad.

Watch "Code 11-14" only if it airs on cable. The first half of the movie is very entertaining and develops some interesting situations but then it becomes predictable and dull.After some dumb situations (like leaving Johnny alone in his seat while a serial killer is chasing his parents...) I had to repeat to myself "don't get angry, it's only a movie, it has to have exaggerated situations. But come on, sometimes it looks like the script was improvised. Anyways, the movie offers some good scenes and has likable characters. Don't expect too much from this. Nowhere near to be a mess but neither a good movie.Only for lovers of detective movies.

I watched this movie for a couple of reasons. 1. David James Elliot 2. The review was good 3. Nothing else worth watching.After watching it, I thought it was quite enjoyable, particulary towards the end.A couple of faults with the movie though, on being with Terry the wife being too annoying and to many 'As if" situations such as as if you would leave your son alone while there's a serial killer after you and your family. It was also pretty predictbale towards the end to guess the killer, even though you may have suspected others that are brought into the story.Not bad for an afternoon's viewing though.

The talents of David James Elliott and his charms were muted. This project has relentless cliches and has less satisfying results. It was cheesy and thrillerless. The characters from the wife and his agent partner view them as fossils and merits shaking our heads. For good FBI,CIA shows I highly recommend "Without a Trace","24" "MI-5" or even "Alias". I will take any "Xfiles" episodes than this. Here's another theory: CBS delayed this TV project not due to 9-11,the real reason they put this behind because its a dud.
