Make every second countSource Code (2011) is a sci-fi thriller.
Synopsis: Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of another man named Sean Fentress and soon discovers that he's assigned to complete the mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train.
To complete this mission, he finds out that he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code", a program that enables him to take over another man's identity in the last eight minutes of his life.
Colter's mission is to re-live the incident over and over again and gather clues until he can solve the mystery of the bomber and prevent the next possible attack.
"Finding the human story amidst the action, director Duncan Jones and charming Jake Gyllenhaal craft a smart, satisfying sci-fi thriller." This is the consensus amongst movie critics.
I like this comment from IMDb:
"Nice science fiction thriller with good performances by the actors, worthwhile to see this in the theater.
Jake Gyllenhaal seems to have hit his stride lately, picking good roles that suit him with the last couple of movies he has starred in. He does well here, as a reluctant hero who starts to piece together what is really going on in a mission to discover the details of a terror plot and identity of the terrorist in Chicago.
The film is shot in an intelligent style, giving brief but significant snippets of various characters on board a commuter train and red herrings tossed in liberally to keep you guessing.
It's not that original or groundbreaking, but made with high standards and care to give the movie-goer good value for their dollar and a pleasant entertainment that delivers on expectations. It's refreshing to see a movie made with these principles in mind."
In summary, go watch this movie. It's highly recommended.
