I quite enjoyed it....it just needed more fight scenes. I liked the twist near the end.

Fantastic film with a very unexpected twist at the end. I went into this expecting to be disappointed due to all the poor reviews have read on here. Was happily proven wrong! Seagal's best since Force of Exection!

I thought it was a great twist also. Certainly one of the more original movies he's made recently (BTW, the link to the good review, was from my own blog)

Unfortunately, I think the movie is almost as bad as "Force of Execution" and "Maximum Conviction". The city atmosphere and the camera work was pretty good and even the dialogues seemed better than in most of Seagals recent movies, but the movie is too long and slow with too many filler scenes (very comparable to "Force of Execution" in this regard). Also, like in almost all of the recent movies, Seagal only had a supporting role. But probably the worst thing about the movie were the bad CGI effects.

Wow...CODE OF HONOUR is on UK TV right now (Moviemix) It was only released in June?
Yeah, that's fast!
Came across these, sorry if some have been posted already.
I watched this for the first time last night. I enjoyed it. A good role for Seagal, being able to creep in the shadows, not having to move around quickly except for the stunt double at the end who jumps through the glass pane.
It was perhaps 10 minutes too long but it was well-acted, had a nice atmosphere and slightly exceeded the small amount of hand-to-hand combat I expected. You even get used to the CGI blood, which was at its worst at the start.

This is one of my favourite Seagal movies (theatrical or otherwise) It's a genuine bad-ass role for him. The twist was pretty good, marred only (as you said) by the CGI blood and not enough Seagal fights (perhaps they should have filmed Seagal in all of Craig Sheffers fightscenes too, given the 'duality' theme) then perhaps intercut them in at the end. As it was they merely had Sheffer reinact some of Seagals kills, in the final 'reveal'?
But a solid movie, nonetheless (I prefer it to Attrition, truth be told)
Not a bad idea!
