(Directed by Duncan Jones)Source Code is a thrilling mystery suspense film about a soldier who wakes up to find himself in a strangers body on a doomed train ride.
The train was bombed one morning while in transit to Chicago and Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal), a US soldier, is able to return to the train eight minutes before it explodes via the Source Code, in the hopes that he can discover the bomb and avert the tragedy.
Even though the film has been out for ages, I still don't want to give away too much about the story 'cause it's a really good movie and I think you should experience it for yourselves. But I think I can be a little more helpful, as to what it is about, than the trailer.
(Michelle Monaghan as Christina Warren)The story line is a simple one of a man going against-all-odds to protect something he values, but the way it unwinds is brilliant and intense.
Stevens is a military pilot who is virtually placed into the body of one of the male passengers on the train, where he repeatedly returns to the last eight minutes of the man's life in order to identify the bomber, and foil his attempt to detonate. He is able to do this through a complex mind system called the Source Code.
They have a far more fascinating and thorough way of explaining it in the movie of course ^_^.
This movie is nowhere near as complex as Inception but it is definitely worthy of the comparison. The story was interesting and suspenseful. It kept you on the edge of your seat as you approached every twist and turn with Stevens trying to figure out just what was going on.
The story's timing was great! It didn't leave you hanging in suspense for too long nor did it divulge any information too quickly--not to mention the love story aspect was very well paced too, and for that it was very believable.
Oh and I haven't even mentioned how cool the VFX were. The train exploded like twenty times and each time was different, vivid, and realistic. There were also other cool little VFX treats that I won't spoil for you.
Have you seen Source Code yet? If so, did you like it? If not, you should :)
Do you like brainy action flicks? What is your favorite type of movie; thriller, romance, comedy?
Enjoy,

I want to see this movie! And I actually thought "Inception" was a breeze . . . maybe that's because my mind can get twisted in any shape and still know exactly where it is.
