Source Code is genuinely compelling and remains a fine example of an intelligent, modern sci-fi thriller.Also,the The movie is a formally disciplined piece of work, a triumph of movie syntax, made with a sense of rhythm and pace.As for the performances,Gyllenhaal gives his character's desperation a comic edge.This is one of the brilliant sci- fi's ever released on screen.
