Thoroughly enjoyable entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2011)

Imagine a film that was a cross between "Inception" , "De ja Vu " and " Groundhog Day" and you will get Source Code and what a cracking little movie this is.
There has been quite dirge of SciFi thrillers in the last 12 months and most have been really good , so Source Code had a lot to live up to and live up to it does.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays a helicopter pilot who wakes up to find he is thrust into a situation where he has to find a bomber of a train heading to Chicago. he has 8 minutes to find the bomber but not just the single 8 minutes because somehow he is being thrust back in time to do the job of saving countless lives.
Confused ? You wont be when you watch this because this flick moves along a really fast pace from the moment it starts and unlike Inception , you don't finish the film scratching your head wondering what the hell just happened.
Gyllenhaal is superb , as is Christina Warren , the only one letting the side down is Jeffrey Wright , who plays Dr. Rutledge . His acting is a bit wooden.
I can't recommend Source Code highly enough. It's ninety minutes of pure entertainment.
