"An intriguing but only partly successful co-mingling of film noir and sci-fi. The main difficulty is a lack of chemistry between lead actors Tim Robbins and Samantha Morton. Resulting business looks to be soft initially, with ancillary more robust."

Variety"You may soon forget the specifics of the plot, but you'll always remember the world it came from."

The Washington Post
The Washington Post"The problem with Code 46 is that the movie, filled with ideas and imagination, is murky in its rules and intentions. I cannot say I understand the hows and whys of this future world, nor do I much care, since it's mostly a clever backdrop to a love affair that would easily teleport to many other genres."
