With a touch of Groundhog Day and a small dash of Speed (the, uh, movie), Duncan Jones follows up his fantastic debut in Moon with this smart and exciting sci-fi thriller.

At first the story seemed quite basic, although as it progresses after multiple attempts (aka re-births and deaths by way of the bomb I suppose), Colter slowly becomes more aware of the enormity of his personal situation, of his 'real status', which is more complicated than may first appear. There is alot of sci-fi involved obviously and getting your head around everything thats explained, from a militarial and scientific point of view, may be a little challenging and the feasibility may . I have to say, I found the movie became a bit too mired in Hollywood cheesiness after the first hour or so was over - with lines including 'im going to save her' 'its been an honour captain - we thank you for your service', well, you get the idea(!). I also felt that perhaps the role of some of the characters was a bit stereotyped or otherwise unfortunate, in that its a female that seemingly cares for the real Colter and the 'boss' type character (a male, ehm, African American) is ultimately a bit of a bad guy.

There are some quite emotional scenes, which are quite tense and work pretty well. I thought that the musical score was maybe a bit over the top, adding to the cheesiness, don't get me wrong it helps to add to the usual overtone of the movie but in one or two scenes it sounded particularly loud and I felt it was maybe a little over the top.

I thought that Jake Gyllenhaal was a pretty good choice of actor to play this role, as he's quite expressive, showing his frustrations portraying the fidgety, out of his depth type character. Michelle Monaghan plays Colter's romantic interest in this movie and the interaction between these characters is quite good - at least the main acting isn't too stale, it was just the scenes between Colter and the military/government personnel he was involuntarily in touch with after being 'brought back' from the last time the bomb went off, that I wasn't overly keen on, finding it rather unoriginal somehow.

if your a fan of Gyllenhaal then yes its worth watching and I think its perfectly watchable as a movie to pass the time - heck im probably being a little picky in my critique perhaps, so I'll recommend it on that basis.… Expand

The scriptwriter, Ben Ripley, doesn't make many ceremonies to quickly explore the pretext of the repetition of the narrative, discovering the mechanisms of the pump or by placing the characters off the train. Jake Gyllenhaal is the shining star once again, with a rather exceptional performance. Some parallel actions, such as the gun, end up having less potential, but they don't undermine the progress of the narrative. The ending feels lacklustre, that needed to deliver a happy ending to leave the viewer satisfied at the end, which is not always necessary. It is still an amazing film, engaging, dynamic and efficient.… Expand

The director Duncan Jones is talented, i also like Moon with Sam Rockwell. Don Burgess photographed, he won an oscar for Forrest Gump but I think he was kind of wasted here.

The science behind was is happening is the usual sci-if nonsense but Source Code jumps right into the action and, with a running time of just an hour and a half, it is able to keep up that pace throughout making for an entertaining movie. Quantum Leap fans should listen out for a Scott Bakula cameo towards the end.… Expand

It was also clever the way that every time the train blows up, he got sent back, and he reported every new clue, because the army was also on the case too.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jake Gyllenhaal is becoming one of my favorite actors.

Source Code is a very intruiging movie about a soldier, Colter Stevens, who is reliving the last 8 minutes of the life of another man named Sean. Sean was on a train with a bomb that explodes and kills everyone on board. Colter Stevens dies every time and is being send to some pod, where he's being told to find out who is the bomber.

Every time Stevens is being send back into the darkness of the pod you can't help but feeling sorry for him. The mystery of what's really happening to him is being slowly revealed. It's all very nerve wrecking and exciting.

It's very interesting to see the transition Stevens is going trough: at first he doesn't want to find the bomber on the train, he just wants to know what the heck is happening to him. But slowly he becomes eager to find the bomber and he starts eliminating every possibility until he finds out the real identity of the bomber.

The story has a happy ending I guess, although it doesn't make much sense since he was not send back in time and he couldn't really prevent the bomb to explode. The real purpose of his actions was to find out the identity of the bomber in order to prevent another and bigger treat.

Also, if the explosion has been avoided then where is the real man who's body Colter Stevens is 'borrowing'? You could argue that he landed in some kind of alternative reality (theory of multiple universes) or you could just see the last part of the movie as a dream...… Expand

I liked how 'blockbuster-action-big' this was at places, while remaining thoughtful. Very entertaining ride, with the same kind of twisty creativity that made Jones'-directed Moon a worthwhile sci fi-movie.

Duncan Jones is showing he is one of the best sci-fi directors going today. Sure Source Code takes different elements from other films similar to his 2009 film Moon, but just like that film he adds a unique style that works perfectly. A

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as who we believe to be Sean Fentress, who has awoken aboard a train going towards downtown Chicago, but he is does not remember how he got here in the first place.
We soon learn that he is not this train commuter at all, but he is actually a man locked up in a time-traveling mechanism that is inside the thoughts of another man...got that?
Basically we see him as Gyllenhaal, and he has all the memories of his actual self, Colter Stevens, but he actually appears to be this other guy to everyone else, and this is brilliantly done,through going back to the same position he was put in at the start of the film by the shady company who are using him to try and prevent a terrorist attack.
Michelle Monaghan also stars as the woman in the seat across from Colonel Stevens, someone he doesn't know but she of course is seeing Sean Fentress which makes for very interesting chemistry and at times quite humorous dialogue.
Gyllenhaal exceeds in his role as the double man form different realities, combining pulsating action with charm and sophistication, and carries the film exceptionally well for its attention-demanding plot.
My one very small complaint is perhaps the too-good-to-be-true ending, which was nice to see, but could easily have been flipped on its side and demanded more, while only a small complaint, I think it is still relevant considering the excellent story.
The ridiculousness of the plot can be overlooked in so many ways by simply enjoying the story going on in front of you, as Stevens begins to get the hang of his time jumping each time he fails and is put back in the same place, remembering occurrences that are about to happen.
But with a gripping turn in the story, its simply brilliant to sit back and watch the drama unfold in front of you, with plenty of interesting characters who all serve a purpose to Colonel Stevens mission.
The thrill ride of Source Code never stops and continuously takes many twists and turns that add up to one of the best films of the year, surprising, enjoyable and heaps of fun and that does put a unique rhythm on the idea of time travelling and consequences.… Expand

This film is a take on the TV show Quantum Leap, but instead of leaping until the issue is solved, the leaper only has 8 minutes to try and solve the problem. Jake Gyllenhaal stars and while I usually don't care for him much, he was excellent here. I have a feeling this character may have been written specifically for him, because he's got a strange style and seems to not fit many of his roles. Source Code is another film in a genre of endless possibilities, it tries really hard to stand out and be special, but sadly it's pretty predictable, while playing off other established material, such as Quantum Leap and The Matrix. It is an enjoyable film and one of Gyllenhaal's best performances that i've seen, but if you're into Science Fiction, the way that I am, you're not gonna have much trouble figuring this one out.… Expand

There are overtones of Groundhog Day (1993), in that a time period is repeated, but I found this one very different. Although not as good as ‘Moon’, IMO, I really liked this film and I’m glad I gave it a second look. It’s nicely paced, there’s a pretty good soundtrack, although it’s quite subdued and at ninety three minutes, it’s not too long. Over all, it’s a well written, nicely paced piece of science fiction with quite a nice twist at the end. Comparisons have been made with ‘Inception’ but I’m not even going to go there, they are totally different. I didn’t score it quite as highly as first time around because I felt it didn’t have quite the impact it did on the big screen. Still a very enjoyable watch though.

The writing is clever (perhaps too clever at times,) and the premise is really interesting. Overall A movie that perhaps could have had a bit more time to tighten up a few minor plot holes, but I'm not sure how they would have done that without ruining it.

In terms of artistic merit it's actually Romantic fodder. The lead actors are good (Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan), the supporting actors are fair, the plot is unoriginal (as I saw another user review say), and the musical score makes me seasick. That said, it's a mainstream flick, what else can you expect. A good way to judge how good a drama is a lot of times is how good the few jokes are that are interspersed throughout a movie. The jokes were cheesy, which in my mind solidifies this movie as not good. I have to admit, there are some clever moments here and there; but they are few and far in between. There's simply no irony in any of the main plot points. No sarcasm. In my opinion good movies have a post-modern flair. Great or excellent movies are meta-modern. If Impressionism were a film movement, this wouldn't even be that. Not even proto-impressionism. Pure Romanticism. In other words, for people who have no idea what I'm talking about, this movie is neither bad nor good. I can't even say it's okay, because it plays it too safe. Keyword: Plain.… Expand

Familiar science fiction concepts are played out well in this race against the clock consciousness swapping techno-thriller. The central plot device is a new technology allowing a person's consciousness to be integrated in to the experienceFamiliar science fiction concepts are played out well in this race against the clock consciousness swapping techno-thriller. The central plot device is a new technology allowing a person's consciousness to be integrated in to the experience of someone else in their final 8 minutes of life, this is used to foil a terrorist plot to kill thousands. The protagonist Colter Stevens' unwillingness and lack of choice in his role as hero, ads an extra dimension to this film that lets you take away more from it than just the concept itself which already has many interesting implications to consider. The ideas aren't new enough and the material not really original enough to be something I would call 'hard sci-fi' but it blends elements of action, thriller and science fiction very well and does no disservice to any of those genres in creating something that suspenseful, engaging and strong.

Like any good film and especially any good science fiction should, this will get you thinking and because it takes familiar elements of classic action-thrillers 'where's the bomb?', 'who's the terrorist?' and blends them with scientific and philosophical riddles; 'is consciousness physically encoded in our neurology and can we decode that and play it back as a unified experience?', 'is it right to impose suffering upon an individual if it means saving the lives of many?' - it gives you the best of both worlds. You're wearing two thinking caps with this one, internally playing your inner CIA-operative-come-detective as you try to solve the mystery before it's too late whilst also exploring the wider and more thoughtful implications that the plot's concept creates.

It does suffer from one major paradoxical flaw which is that, the ability to experience someone's last 8 minutes of life is explained as being the result of the overlap of a preserved 'afterglow' of magnetic energy within brain cells that preserve a semblance of consciousness and that the human brain uses something akin to a memory cache of 8 minutes of short term memory. Using these two ideas, a machine is created that can put an operator in to those last 8 minutes of memory, and so the hope is that those last 8 minutes will contain precious information to help uncover the identity of a dangerous terrorist known to be around the deceased individual at the time of his death. This is fine except that our hero is told to actively investigate and to do things and go places that the deceased man whose consciousness he is temporarily assuming, never did. Perhaps the 'afterglow' preserves enough of the person for them (or for Colter) to extrapolate what might have happened if in those 8 minutes, the person had done something different, like a vivd dream, but in that case the information would be more or less useless to anyone because it would just be someone's best guess, something the investigators who built the machine would have themselves anyway. If in my last 8 minutes of life I was in my home sleeping, and someone could use this device to experience those same final 8 minutes, they either couldn't wake up and walk around and go outside (because I didn't) or if they did, they'd just be imagining what was probably happening outside based on their best guess. You can't create information that isn't in the memory track of those 8 minutes.

With enough concentration, my inner nerd was able to shut up about this flaw and see the film through and it's worth it because the rewards are rich and the final denouement which so often seems an unnecessary tacked on bit of fluff, actually opens even more interesting avenues of thought and adds another layer to a film that seems simpler than it really is. It didn't warrant a higher score than an 8 for me because of the conceptual problem with the plot and because some of the characters are a bit typical but the film is impressive in its ability to pack a lot of sci-fi in to a simple passenger 57 action staple. Watch it, it's a good film.… Expand
