Many different characters are presented in uncompleted stories without any connection. Some years ago, Michael Haneke surprised the lovers of cinema with his masterpiece of violence, the impressive `Funny Games'. Now he surprised me again, in a negative way: although having a good cast leaded by the wonderful Juliette Binoche, and very long scenes without any cut, the screenplay of `Code Unknown' is a great deception. Each story spins without reaching any point. There is free aggression in the subway, lack of communication, poverty and other uninteresting subjects and after almost two hours of film, I asked myself: `What is the point?' In Brazil, we have a saying, which in English could be translated by `of people with good-intention, the hell is crowded'. The intentions of Michael Haneke probably were the best possible, however his movie is terrible. My vote is six.
