The director and writer, Duncan Jones and Ben Ripley , hurtle ahead with the speed of their commuter train, which like the man on the Grecian urn always speeds forward and never gets anywhere. Colter's challenge increases in complexity. The city grows ever closer to destruction. Christina becomes more poignant. The scientists grow more desperate. What we have here, setting aside the fancy editing involving the time travel, is something that looks like hard science fiction.
That's a threatened genre. Movies with plots are threatened in general; much modern "science fiction" involves blowing stuff up. The good classic sci-fi involved starting with an idea and exploring its implications. Duncan Jones previously made " Moon " , with Sam Rockwell as a character apparently nearing the end of a contract to man a station on the far side of the moon.
Characters in Duncan Jones movies should learn not to be so sure of things. But Jones has the right spirit, Gyllenhaal and Monaghan are adept at playing their variations on the eight minutes, and here's a movie where you forgive the preposterous because it takes you to the perplexing.
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in In , he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism. Rated PG for some violence including disturbing images, and for language. Jake Gyllenhaal as Colter. Michelle Monaghan as Christina. Vera Farmiga as Colleen. Michael Arden as Derek Frost. Jeffrey Wright as Dr. The director played random songs as well as "static buzz" at times. Goofs The conductor always asks Colter for his ticket, but never asks Christina for hers.
On Chicago commuter trains, conductors collect tickets as passengers get on; Colter must have gotten on after Christina. Quotes Colter Stevens : Christina, what would you do if you knew you had less than one minute to live?
User reviews Review. Top review. He started out with the super low-budget sci-fi Moon. Now Jones is back with Source Code and he delivers the goods once again. If you have seen the trailer then you know the basic plot.
The movie starts with our main character Captain Colter Stevens waking up on the train sitting opposite to a woman who obviously knows him and calls him "Sean" but he doesn't know her, he runs away to the bathroom and he sees in the mirror reflection a completely different man then suddenly the train explodes.
We are transported into this weird capsule where he is "briefed" about what's all this about. The movie keeps jumping between these two settings: between the Source Code I am not going to spoil what it actually is like some professional reviewers or some reviewers here on IMDb and the reality but that doesn't limit the film in any way. The director manages to keep the movie suspenseful, balanced with amount of "action" scenes and mysteries to keep the audience guessing.
Especially after the brilliant opening scene he' s got everyone pulled inside the film and on the edge of their seats, that's where Duncan Jones shows off his skills. Jake Gyllenhaal pulls here probably his best performance yet.
He is quite charming here, completely believable when he is confused, funny and realistic when he is falling for the girl who he can meet only in the Source Code. He is very sympathetic and he looks great with a gun. Jake Gyllenhaal has grown into one hell of a great actor. Michelle Monaghan is cute and manages to make a great character even with the minimum of screen time.
The oddly accented Dr. Rutledge, the creator of the Source Code, played by Jeffrey Wright is the only character who provides the audience with some sort of explanation. In the end this is a very enjoyable suspenseful sci-fi thriller but with a few flaws so it can't be put alongside classics like Twelve Monkeys or Inception. It's got a great concept but not just so mind bending.
I hope this will be a box-office success so Duncan Jones will provide us with another well made movie. Details Edit. Release date April 1, United States. United States Canada France Germany. Box office Edit.
