CONVICT'S CODE is a fun little programmer that runs for a scant hour and keeps that hour going thanks to the interesting 'wronged man' premise. The main character is a former prisoner now on parole and forced to live to a strict set of conditions or else he'll be thrown back into jail. The twist is that he was wrongfully accused in the first place and is now determined to clear his name.
As with many B-movie productions, this one doesn't have any star power so is forced to get by through the strength of the story alone. In that respect it works well, with many suspenseful moments as our hero narrowly avoids his parole officer and attempts to go straight. A sappy romance threatens to de-rail the proceedings but it stays on track for the climax in which our protagonist battles some real criminal types.
