If you like a mind-bending, action laden thriller with a serving of sci-fi, look no further than Source Code.
The Gist: A maimed marine is recruited for a super secret mission involving him temporarily “living” inside someone else’s mind. The goal is to prevent a terrorist attack.
The movies plunges the audience into the action and it takes a bit to understand what is going on in the two parallel realities our hero is operating in, but once you do all you can really do is go “Whoa!”
The magnetically handsome Jake Gyllenhaal expertly navigates his way around the challenges of playing someone whose worldview is upended and blown away over and over again.
The Bottom Line: Source Code’s concept is mind blowing and the execution is fantastic. Gyllenhaal is great and so are Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright. It is definitely one of the better movies out there. Don’t miss it.
Grade: 8
