Source Code (2011) 7/10

Starring : Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga, Jeffrey Wright
Director : Duncan Jones
Running Time : 95 mins

Colter Stevens (Gyllenhaal) wakes upon a train in the body of school teacher Sean Fentress, and within eight minutes he is killed when the train blows up. He then wakes to find he is part of a government experiment to stop terrorism by sending people into victims to find evidence of the terrorist’s identity. Apparently there is no way for him to change the events that have already taken place, but when he falls for bomb-victim Christine Warren (Monaghan), he decides to do everything he can to save her.

Those who hated repetitive movies such as Groundhog Day and Déjà vu will despise this, but I thought it wasn’t too bad. The plot is interesting, and the performances are sound, and if you can look past the repetition – which, to be honest, isn’t that repetitive – you might find that this is actually a decent sci-fi romantic action movie.
