Not Good

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2011)

Source Code fails to suspend your belief - what's required to make you want to play along with the "who dun-nit" aspect the director hopelessly baits you into. It's confusing and it gets boring watching the same thing over and over again. Rather than follow along, I was left questioning: "Is this Groundhog Day or is it more like Matrix when someone pulls the plug?" You know what happens in the end of course - there really is no surprise. Oh, and terrorists...they are everyday normal looking dudes just like you. Uhhh, the propaganda! The action is lazy - just a CGI fire over and over. The people on the train don't behave the way real people do - they behave more like SIMS characters. I think there was even a text message sent between two parallel universes - was this an attempt at fantasy as well? The train blows up and the film just blows.
