We watched Source Code on Blu-Ray yesterday.
Directed by: Duncan Jones
Genre: Mystery, Suspense, Science Fiction, Thriller
Release Date: April 1, 2011
Running Time: 93 minutes
MMPA rating: PG-13
The Good: Multiple mysteries in the plot that always keeps you guessing, Really good acting, Original concept, Surprisingly funny in some parts of the movie,
The Bad:
Plot: Since "Source Code" is a Mystery we are not giving as munch info about the movie as we normally do so you can figure out the Mystery of the movie. Army helicopter pilot Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal), last aware of being on a mission in Afghanistan, wakes up on a commuter train traveling to Chicago. He finds that to other people – including his traveling partner Christina Warren (Michelle Monaghan) – he appears as Sean Fentress, a school teacher. As he comes to grips with this revelation, the train car explodes, killing everyone aboard and derailing it and a tanker train traveling the other direction.
Stevens regains consciousness inside an unfamiliar cockpit. Through a screen, Air Force Captain Colleen Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) verifies Stevens' identity. She explains Stevens is in the "Source Code", an experimental device created by Dr. Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright), scientist for Beleaguered Castle (a military unit named after the card game), that allows its user to experience the last eight minutes of a person's life within an alternate timeline. Stevens is being asked to use Source Code to discover the location of a bomb aboard the train and identify who detonated it. Goodwin explains that the train explosion occurred that morning, and was a warning by the bomber as a precursor to a larger dirty bomb that will be detonated in downtown Chicago. Though Stevens' actions cannot change the past and save the lives aboard the train, identifying the bomber in the alternate timeline will prevent the deaths of millions more in this one. Watch the movie to see what happens next.
Plot: 8.3/10- The Mystery is the plot was not to hard that you couldn't figure it out but not to easy that it is simple. Source Code's plot was original and the concept was unique.
Action: N/A- Source Code is a Mystery Suspense movie not an action movie.
Acting: 8.1/10- Jake Gyllenhaal was very good and the rest of the cast was also good.
Special effects: 7.0/10- Source Code is a not a effect driven movie but what were there were good.
Soundtrack: 6.7/10- The soundtrack wasn't bad but it wasn't memorialble.
Comedy: 7.9/10- Source Code is not a comedy but when Jake Gyllenhaal's character was confussed it was funny.
Overall: 7.8/10- Overall Source Code is another entertaining suspense thriller that is also original.
Closing comments: Source Code is good Mystery Suspense movie that makes you think but if you don't like movies like that you should probably skip it.
