What they share
Both films are directed by Jeff Chan, and they sit in Action / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Code 8 Part II, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Code 8 is
You're a powered construction worker in a city on lockdown. Work is scarce, the authorities are brutal, but there's always a hustle. Then a petty crime escalates. Chan's direction finds humanity amid the super-powered set pieces. The film lingers on its timely themes.
