Source Code (2011) - Jake Gyllenhaal is Altering the Terrorist Crash in a Train! FTW!

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2011)

Jake Gyllenhaal stars in a new mind-bending thriller about a former soldier from Afghanistan who goes on a mission through a source code program that lets him go back in previous events in his own alternate universe, only this time, he has to prevent a dangerous terrorist bomb in a train ride. Throughout the movie, he always has to go back and forth to the same location, from finding the bomb in the train, to the identity of the bomber, over and over. "Source Code" is exhilarating, and entertainingly thrilling, and it's one of the best movies this year so far. Jake Gyllenhaal brings one of the best performances of the year with his charisma and sense of realism. Michelle Monaghan makes an excellent portrayal, and Vera Farmiga did an excellent job in the movie as well. Duncan Jones did a magnificent directing duty, and brought a movie this year that blew me away. The film editing is so awesome, because it happens so unexpectedly. The cinematography is superb, the music is thrilling, and the visual effects are like no other I have ever seen before. But the only problem with this movie is that it was 93 minutes too quick, and it looked like a movie that people would usually spent 2 hours watching, and that was unexpected. The rest of "Source Code" is crystal-clear perfect! If you enjoy watching thrillers that mess with your mind, go see "Source Code". The suspense is thrilling, the cast is superb, the directing is top-notch, and the finale blends perfectly with enough shock and surprise. "Source Code", in my review, "a thrilling motion picture, filled with unexpected twists and turns".
