Review of Source Code (2011) by Francisco R — 08 Sep 2013
Complex and thrilling Sci-Fi, Source Code is an outstanding movie and I'm sure I can call it the best Sci-Fi ever made since Inception. Source Code is fantastic in every way, the acting is superb so as the cast and the plot is terrific and I think it had a much more interesting concept than Déjá Vu's. Sow, Source Code is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time and I can consider it one of my favorite movies and trust me, since Inception, this is the best Sci-Fi ever made, Source Code is just fantastic and highly recommend it and the movie isn't near-perfect, it is perfect. Source Code is not just a Sci-Fi, it leaves you much more satisfied, I had an incredible time, Source Code is really amazing and honestly, I think that at least 50% of this could be real. One of the things that I just loved about Source Code is that they mixed a bit of romance in here but they did a terrific job, cause it did not just made the movie look better they didn't ruin the movie by joining romance into it, they just incepted the right quantity, wich makes me think that Source Code is really one of the best movies ever made. Overall, Source Code is a masterpiece by infinit reasons, I recommend it to everyone, defenetely one of my favorite movies, Source Code is one of the best movies ever made in history of films. Masterpiece.
Duncan Jones directs this movie, he did a terrific job with everything, he didn't do anything wrong, he really did a terrific job with the directing. Jake Gyllenhaal takes the lead role, he was amazing, I loved his perfomance, he was really good here and this is (In my opinion), his best perfomance so far, Jake is known from Zodiac, Donnie Darko, Brothers, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Times and some other movies. Michelle Monaghan was great here, that's all, we couldn't expect nothing great from a supporting role like that, but she did a great job, Michelle is known from my fifth favorite movie, wich is Due Date, she is also known from The Hearbreak Kid, Eagle Eye, Gone Baby Gone, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and some other movies. Vera Farmiga was great here, she wa smuch better than I expected, I knew that she was going to play those women who are cops or millitaries and I usually don't like those perfomances, but Vera was great at her role, Vera is known from Up in the Air, The Departed, Orphan and some other movies. Jeffrey Wright was just okay here, that's all, no big deal, Jeffrey is known from Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, The Ides of March and some other movies. Sow, as you can see, this movie has a fantastic cast and the perfomances are fantastic as well, especially Jake's perfomance, he was really good, but the rest of the cast was also great. Fantastic cast.
Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhall) is a soldier who wakes up on a moving train in other body. 8 minutes later, the train explods and the Captain wakes in other place where Captain Colleen Goldwin (Vera Farmiga) and Dr. Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright) inform Captain Colter Stevens is inside the Source Code, it's sort of a computer program that inserts a person in other body in the last eight minutes of its life. Captain Colter Stevens will have to get back to the train lots and lots of times and waste his presious eight minutes trying to find the bomber of the train so the next attack can be prevented. Make every second count.(What I thought about the plot) I completely loved the script, it's terrific in every single aspect, it was just amazingly written and it's really smart and it worked so well in the movies. Sow, this script was genius, it really didn't had a single flaw, it was geniusly written and it worked so well in the movie, I can say that because I consider the movie a masterpiece. Masterpiece plot.
Soundtrack, well, I do remember a theme right at the beginning, but it was no big deal, but that's okay, this movie could have a terrible soundtrack, I would still think it's amazing. The CGI special effects were great, there wasn't lots of scenes with CGI, but from the ones they made, they were well done.
Besides all that, I am now going to tell you what I really thought about this movie. First of all, Source Code is not just a fantastic Sci-Fi thriller, it's also a roller coaster of emotions: fear, love, bravery, etc. But the emotion that really gets into you is excitment, excitment on watching the film, I was incredibly excited to watch the movie and while I was watching it, I was also in a mood of excitment, the movie is just terrific, the way it developed, the acting, the plot, the concept.... Sow, I can consider Source Code one of the most well done movies in history, the best Sci-Fi since Inception and personally one of my favorite movies, I loved everything about it and that's way I call it perfect, I wasn't bored for a single second, this movie could have a four hour length, I think I wouldn't notice, like this movie's hour and a half that just flash by. Overall, Source Code is a masterpiece, it's a perfect movie that I recommend to everybody who loves movies, Sci-Fi's and thrillers, it's really fantastic, it has a fantastic cast, a masterpiece plot and it's super entertaining. Defenetely one of my 25 favorites. Source Code: 10/10. Masterpiece.
Masterpiece movie. Extremely recommended movie, 100% recommended movie. Grade: A+.
