Interesting concept, but...

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2015)

While "Source Code" does have an interesting concept idea and is entertaining enough, it just didn't stand out as being exceptional or memorable. The movie is solid enough for a single viewing, and that is about it. Once viewed for the first time, I doubt that anyone will make a second return to the movie.
The story is about a soldier named Colter Stevens (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) who is part of a military experiment where he is sent back to thwart a train bombing. However, he only has eight minutes in the past each time he is sent back through the Source Code.
There are some interesting aspects to the movie and some complex ideas. As such, the movie does well as a thriller and provides good entertainment. It is the type of movie that you quickly immerse yourself into.
The acting was good and people were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters. And they had cast some good talents for the various characters.
It is just a shame that the movie doesn't have enough contents to sustain more than a single viewing.
