	Media	Author	Review
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"A well-crafted mix of crime melodrama and fantasy"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"The ideas outpace the action in a movie that’s clearly been made with passion and intelligence, but without the kind of zip that this kind of story demands."
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Perfectly timed for some entertainment while you’re staying at home (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A glimmer of wit here and there would've helped keep viewers engaged in the action and endeared us to a cast that is competent but hardly charismatic."
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"A promising sci-fi thriller with long-term potential in its ideas (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Sandy Schaefer Screen Rant	"'Code 8' works better as a proof of concept than a standalone sci-fi thriller, serving up fascinating world-building with a fairly basic story (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
