“Code 8” (** out of four) was a muddled sci/fi melodrama about a construction worker (Robbie Amell) with mysterious superpowers who falls in with a group of criminals (Stephen Amell, Greg Bryck, and others) in order to raise money for his ailing mother (Kari Matchett) but this leads to unforeseen consequences for all of them. Just a hodgepodge of ideas derived from other (and better) sci/fi and horror movies. Never boring but never exactly enthralling either. Director Jeff Chan expanded this from his own short story of the same name.
