There is a leanness and efficiency to Duncan Jones’ Source Code that simply makes me giddy. Opening on a slow-crawl montage of a glossy Chicago cityscape to a nifty little tune by composer Chris Bacon, a kind of pseudo-Hitchcockian burst of energy and intrigue is evoked.

This time around DrDogbert takes a look at the 2011 movie Source Code to see if it really is as good as they say it is?
Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal – Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time) finds himself on an unusual mission when he is tasked with identifying the terrorist responsible for bombing a passenger train. Using new technology known as the Source Code, Colter can be transported into the body of one of the train’s passengers 8 minutes before the train explodes. With time ticking, Colter must eliminate the potential suspects and find the bomber before another attack can take place.
Did Castor get a new site?
On topic: I enjoyed this movie, though I felt there were some weak areas. For instance I would've revisited the train a bit more just to give more of a look at the situation and draw the audience into it more. It just seemed kinda rushed to me.
Also, didn't really get a proper sense of why Gyllenhaal's character would feel for Michelle's character so deeply. This is partly because not going back to that train scene enough didn't provide enough time to truly development that character relationship, I felt.
All in all, though, it was an enjoyable movie, just a bit of a "safe" ending.
Cant Wait to see these i heared alot of good things about these movie it got good reviews from what i seen
Wanna see it but couldn't they have given him more than 8 minutes? It was like that show on TV "7 Days"....at least he had time to do something to prepare.
