A thoughtful, sci-fi thriller

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2014)

Jake Gyllenhaal plays Capt. Colter Stevens who travels back in time (sort of) and inhabits the body of a male passenger on a Chicago bound passenger train in the (8 minutes) leading up to a deadly explosion, which kills everyone on board. It's his mission to find the terrorist responsible.
I really enjoyed this, especially the ending which (despite the super happily-ever-after) is open to interpretation or possibly even a sequel. I also loved how this movie slowly unravelled itself, with more pieces unveiled to both Colter and the audience with each subsequent 8 minute trip he took. I wasn't all that surprised by Colter's condition but it was still shocking and very sad.
A pretty great movie I'm still thinking about.05.13
