Great movie!

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2011)

Definitely owes a debt to a 1962 B&W short film from France..La Jetee Although only 28 minutes in length and totally told by a narrator, La Jetee contains most of the same story elements of this strong follow-up. Time travel, apocalyptic events, the future saving the past, a love story with someone met in the past...
Obviously Source Code is much more detailed and a much longer, meatier story, but both movies share a great sense of relevance to their respective times.
I loved all the performances in Source Code. It's easy to like Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan but the supporting cast is equally good. Vera Farmiga is intense. Jeffrey Wright, as always, is totally immersed in his character, and if you can't call to mind a bunch of his performances, that to me is a sign of how good he is at letting his characters through.
