Review of Source Code (2011) by Luke E — 10 Feb 2015
This beguiling sci-fi techno-thriller from director Duncan Jones adds a splash of quantum physics into a Groundhog Day-esque plot. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Captain Colter Stevens, a U.S. soldier sent into a time loop program to find the man who planted a bomb on a train in an alternate reality.
Owing quite a lot to Inception in its habit of not treating its audience like idiots, Source Code is an entertaining action romp with a knack for keeping things ticking over despite having a concept which verges on repetitiveness at times.
If you liked Quantum Leap, pounce on this!
