be in a not so distant future and globalization seem to have reach a high point and languages mix with each other ( although english prevail over the rest ) and race have merge and human clonation be a fact and and all the territory seem to have be divide in two zone represent the one for the valid and the one for the non valid . a brave new world ( in aldous huxley style ) in which people be genetically file and blood relationship be strictly forbidden ( for health reason that the code 46 of the title ) . in such environment two soul that be destine not to meet fall in love with each other . winterbottom have an important story and with quite a big potential . a nice recipe that he ruin give it a so slow rhythm and narrate it in a so weary way and remove any emotion . coldness and that all code 46 transmits . coldness and boredom . not even the presence of samantha morton and tim robbins ( both ofem play their role wonderfully ) and nor the visual and sound power of some sequence can do anything to save the movie . what a pity . code 46 represent what could have be and never be . my rate represent 4/10 .
