Another great time travel thriller

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2017)

I love films about time travel or films to that effect. It often brings about a creative way to explain a concept and the execution is quite entertaining to watch. Source code is a great example of this. We start off with limited information about how a person can travel in time. As the film unfolds we get more of a sense of what's going on. The person is not essentially alive but his consciousness lives on while a small remainder also exists of his body.
The scientist's task him with going back to the last 8 minutes of train explosion to find the bomb and the bomber. As the film goes on we see him know every 8 minutes and come close. What is interesting is what the scientist tells him and what he experiences are two different things. The beauty of the film in the end shows him emerge with a new life and identity having survived the train incident. Since time travel is novel the directors nicely show that even the scientists didn't know the potential of their own inventions. Superb acting from Jake Gyllenhaal who steals the show in this one.
Highly recommended if you enjoy time travel movies and science fiction.
