Source Code - 2011 ****


Now I have to say that I was extremely surprised by this film and really enjoyed it. Gyllenhaal was actually pretty convincing and the storyline in my opinion was original and crisp.
After waking up in another man's body, Gyllenhaal is told that he is part of a mission to find the bomber of a train in Chicago. He has nothing to go on except that he returns each time to the same time and scene 8 minutes before the train explodes. It is up to him to find the bomber and save the people on there without having any idea what the person might look like or what their motives are.
Taut, tense and thrilling, this is worth watching, and yes, while the ending is a bit bizarre, the rest of this tightly knitted film is worth it.
