Terrific

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2011)

This is this years best sci/fi movie and one of this years best movies overall. The plot is completely believable, the Source Code that is. It is where a person is implanted into the thoughts of an already dead person for the last 8 minutes of their life in order to find out something of critical importance. In this case, it is to find an explosives expert who bombed a train killing everyone on board before they bomb another area in the epicenter of Chicago where millions of people reside.
Jake Gyllenhaal is terrific as Capt. Colter Stevens, who's the man inside the Source Code trying to figure out who the killer is before he kills again. Michelle Monaghan is lovable as her character plays the 'love interest' in a way of Gyllenhaal. The rest of the cast is terrific as well as they all come together to make this story as believable as possible.
Twists and turns throughout make you guess what could possibly happen next and most of the time, you guess wrong. Like who is the killer, where is the Source Code located, and is this even a legal or ethical process. The last one being a judgment call where the majority of movie watchers come to a one sided agreement.
The only reason for the 9/10 instead of the 10/10 is because I didn't care for the ending. What transpired for me wasn't believable at all and kind-of deflated the process the movie took from believable sci/fi to fantasy. Usually I would drop a score tremendously for this but the rest of the movie was just too good to do it. Others loved the ending and you may as well.
Give it a go and make the decision for yourself.
