This was more like a substandard episode of Spooks than a mainstream movie. I'm not sure there was a single cliché of the spy genre that wasn't deployed at some point, and repeatedly the script presented us with stuff that was so unlikely it was impossible to suspend disbelief. Although most of the action was in London, the Americans seemed to be in charge of everything (yawn), with MI5 consisting of Toni Colette and about five men with 1970s haircuts (in order to be more convincingly British). Noomi Rapace did not sound remotely like someone who had lived in the USA since she was a child, which made it hard to remember that she was supposed to be CIA rather than MI5.
Essentially a pastiche of Bourne, Jack Reacher and a few dozen other films much better than this; it was, I'll grant, pacy and crisply directed, and the actors did their level best with drab dialogue and clumsy exposition. And it was satisfying for once to see an action hero played by a short, slight actor that wasn't Tom Cruise.

This movie made me write my first ever review. Seems like most other reviewers saw a completely different film. Ridiculous writing.If you are looking for an intelligent plot this is not it. I could not care less for the characters. Looking at the cast one would expect something much better. I hope nobody actually had to pay to see this.
Full of clichés and unrealistic/dumb scenes. The writers/directors does not have high thoughts of their viewers intelligence.

I was doing my daily paperwork while watching this flick and still guessed who the bad guy was halfway through. Definitely had a 90's feel of the bad guys want to kill just because. Would have gave it another star if Mr. Douglas wasn't in this movie, his talent is far beyond a role like this.
Fun flick. Interesting cast. Direction is horrible! A car cruises through a playground honks horn twice and all the kids duitifully move to the wall 'till it passes, then resume playing? When is the last time that happened? Duct tape for Orlando's mouth is so weakend, it almost falls off the roll before it touches his face. Actors over react to movements in every scene, trying to heighten tension, which makes the movie come off like a bunch of scenes in a movie rather than a story you might be involved in.
Another Dumb Action Thriller Film. Easy Pay Days for Douglas and Malkovich! I did enjoy Orlando Bloom
over the top acting performance. He seemed to be having fun. The plot is nothing special I have seen other films with the similar plots. One Time Watch unfortunately. Don't expect much from this film. 3/10

I love a good thriller like most do but this one is definitely not worth your time. Rapace does a decent job with the material she is given in the lead role but the other A-List actors here have poor forgettable roles. Douglas and Malkovich are cardboard-cutout bit-part characters who are unconvincing. The Orlando Bloom character is scarcely credible in the manner of his introduction. All in all, you'll regret watching to the end of this one. It's just not worth it. After so many bad twists in the course of the movie it's just a trial to watch.

So mind numbingly generic it makes me wonder why anyone bothered in the first place.
Each and every moment could be seen either miles or minutes away. I was surprised by absolutely nothing and feel as though I was deprived of my Sunday afternoon having randomly stumbled across it.
Nothing I can say would effectively constitute as a spoiler because nothing of any value or interest happens.
But, I do like violence (even if so mild) and having something on in the background while I do my raid weekend attacks on clash of clans and listen to my dog snore so peacefully to the sounds of the same boring crap she hears on any other dedicated bludge day.

Codice Unlocked (2017) is a weak investigation film about a possible terrorist conspiracy. Starring Noomi Rapace, this film shows Alice Racine racing (hah!) the clock to uncover who is behind a possible CIA infiltration.
Orlando Bloom's character in this film is totally dismissable. Just an exploit on the actor's popularity.
With a totally predictable plot and not much else to offer, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

If video killed the radio store then Netflix killed movies. This movie had a story that could well have made a good movie but the screenplay was terrible. From hand grenades with the explosive power of a small nuclear bomb to a 115 pound woman beating up a muscular 6,2" male. The whole thing is just a mess and a total way to waste time. The acting from supposedly good actors is also shameful. The Neflix movies just keep getting worse and worse. At this point I'm thinking between all the Netflix woke bs and these rubbish movies Netflix is not even worth pirating never mind paying Netflix for this crap.

What were the actors in this movie thinking when they read this script? What a train wreck! I got half way through and then couldn't handle it any longer. I think Toni Collette and Noomi Rapace are fabulous but even they couldn't save this turkey.
