Où regarder Hard Matter
- jackmeat-4 hMy quick rating - 3.7/10. Kill Code wastes no time throwing us into its grim dystopian future, though maybe a little too much time throwing text at us first. It opens with enough exposition, I thought I accidentally booted up the extended lore section of a video game manual. Crime is everywhere, corporations somehow got even more evil, and apparently the solution is strapping deadly watches onto criminals and forcing them into a murder tournament for freedom. You know, your typical Tuesday in the future. Before long, we’re introduced to the mysterious mega-corporation Alpire, with none other than Harvey Keitel appearing on TV to calmly ramble about nanotechnology like he’s hosting the world’s most unsettling TED Talk. Then it’s off to a mass execution scene involving a guy randomly asking about D-Day, because apparently subtle storytelling got left behind sometime around the apocalypse. The film quickly pivots into a music montage showing just how miserable the world has become, because if you’re building a dystopia, legally you must include slow-motion suffering set to dramatic music. Enter Elera, played by Franzi Schissler, arriving home to discover life in this future somehow still finds ways to get worse. She soon gets tangled up in the chaos involving stylish murder gloves, criminals trying to survive, and enough betrayal to make trusting literally anyone feel like a terrible life decision. To Kill Code’s credit, there are moments where it genuinely feels like there could have been a slick sci-fi action movie hiding underneath all the AI prompts. The fancy gloves-as-weapons gimmick is admittedly cool, and some of the violent CGI head explosions land with the exact sort of ridiculous energy you want from a movie called Kill Code. Tyrese Gibson also shows up as a cop, bringing some solid presence to a world where pretty much everyone seems united in one belief. Alpire absolutely sucks. Unfortunately, this is where things start to wobble harder than a cheap sci-fi set piece held together with optimism and duct tape. The AI-generated effects become impossible to ignore, especially with fire, backgrounds, and some bizarre visual moments that scream “we’ll fix it in post” - except nobody ever circled back to actually fix it. At times, Kill Code feels less like a finished movie and more like an expensive AI experiment someone accidentally exported too early. The script doesn’t help matters either. It feels scrambled and messy, bouncing between ideas without committing to many of them. There’s a glaring lack of polish that makes the production feel rushed, even with a surprisingly talented cast doing their best to hold things together. Honestly, they all perform adequately enough, which somehow makes the missed potential sting even more. And what was that ending? Silly is probably the kindest word for it. By the time the credits rolled, I wasn’t angry, just confused and mildly amused. Kill Code isn’t nearly as terrible as some online comments made it sound, but when characters are firing guns without fingers even remotely on triggers, somebody really needed to hit pause and double-check those AI-generated shots before release. Little details like that shouldn’t survive quality control, especially in a movie aiming this high. Maybe these are the reasons you can only find this one in Dubai.
