Good to watch ... again and again and again...

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2012)

Source Code is a combination of Quantum Leap, Ground Hog Day and Deja Vu, taking the better qualities of each and turning out an entertaining science-fiction movie.
Also, and rather crucially, the creators took time to look at this movie as a piece of entertainment and craft it in such a way as to remain entertaining without it becoming exceptionally repetitive (which will become abundantly clear once you watch the movie and understand the core premise).
Jake Gyllenhaal is as reliable as ever as Colter Stevens, our deeply confused but redoubtable hero, and Jeffrey Wright nails the crippled academic with an ego, playing Dr. Rutledge.
A quality I enjoy in this kind of fast-paced whodunit movie is following the clues and getting ahead of the story, which is doable if you pay attention to the details. So the creators score extra points there, and especially for the construction of the ending, which is whimsy but also clever, given the clues.
