Source Code Movie Review

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Captain Colter Stevens, a helicopter pilot that the last he knew was flying a mission in Iraq. He wakes to find himself sitting on a train, headed to Chicago, and has no idea who he is although everyone seems to know him. In the following minutes he tries to adjust to the situation to try and figure out what's going on until the train explodes.

He again wakes up, this time though he is in a small chamber with a small video screen in it. He of course is even more confused as the voice coming from the screen is trying to calm him. The woman that appears on the screen gives him little information and before he knows it, he's back on the train, exactly at the same moment as he appeared before. As things progress, although still a bit confused on why he's there, he learns that there is a bomb on board the train and he needs to find it and the person who has put it there. After several more trips, he finally does figure out who the bomber is and also finds out who he is.

This wasn't a bad movie, a little hard to follow at times but overall a decent movie. Gyllenhaal does a good job with the role and the supporting cast is decent. Worth checking out at some point if you like a thriller with a touch of sci-fi in it.

I'm giving this movie a 8 out of 10!

Soon to be available on DVD
