“Assassin’s Code” (**1/2 out of four) was an absorbing underworld thriller about a rookie detective (Justin Chatwin), son of a disgraced former cop, who works to solve his first major murder case all the while being trailed by a ruthless assassin (Peter Stormare) and trying to sort out the mobsters and cops he can trust. Story of corrupt cops and mafia ties is familiar and predictable but Chatwin is strong in navigating the lead role and the writing and filmmaking are better-than-average. Ironically, film only slows down during scenes with veteran actor Stormare.
