IR VERDICT:
Like any 007 tale, the action in CODE OF CONDUCT blasts away at the beginning while the plot unfurls slowly with lots of complexities. Imagine a cheating husband, $500K transferred without a trace, a Russian-owned 50-foot yacht anchored in the Great Lakes–and those are just a few clues about what PI Shane Hane and partner Gabriel Eze face. Add more than a soupçon of steamy love–and romantic thrill-seekers will clamor for a sequel.
