426th Review: Groundhog Day goes Sci-Fi - good film to get you thinking with good thriller elements

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2011)

Source Code is one of those films where 40 minutes in your going meh, but by the end you're impressed. The premise is neat, that recreating an event over and over will lead to different results, but it's the mystery elements that carry this - and the human story that evolves that clearly lifts it from other such films.
We found ourselves really walking out satisfied - and half-way through it seemed to be just the same scene over and over, but as the film develops it does truly surprise you.
All in all, the concept will get you thinking what if, and the plot and the actors will have you engaged and enthralled. We were really surprised at how much we enjoyed Source Code - not bad at all.
