Source Code (PG-13) 7.5

Source Code (2011): An action thriller centered on a soldier who wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. (7.6)

Director: Duncan Jones
Writer: Ben Ripley
Stars: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga

From the previews, I knew that this was a time travel movie; sort of. But, it had a lot more than "just go back and fix the history" attitude to the story. There were dangling emotional attachments throughout the movie to make it interesting. It wasn't about the time, the whole time like most such movies tend to be. It was about characters and interactions. Good acting; suspenseful; entertaining. My Rating: 7.5
