Review of Source Code (2011) by Yossi G — 18 Dec 2012
"Source Code" is definitely the stinkiest steaming pile of pretentious Hollywood CRAP I've seen in a long time!!!
A gross and tactless use of every philosophical one-liner clichà (C) in the book while plagiarizing bits and pieces of nearly every parallel-reality movie out there. For a movie like this to be acceptable, the action needs to be relentless and breathtaking ... it's not!
EVERYTHING in this movie is just sloooooow and predictable while the script is just down right embarrassing (could you pah-lease have used the line "It's gonna be OK" just one more time for me? I don't think there were enough of those).
How on earth Duncan Jones could go from making a masterpiece like "Moon" and sink into this total waste of time and money is beyond me.
As for Jake Gyllenhaal ... I get it man, you're making lots of money playing these parts and who can blame you, I'd probably do the same, but can't you give us a good ol' indie drama part like you used to every now and then to remind me why I love you so much?? Could ya mix it up for me a bit there ol' buddy, ol' pal? How about a "Bubble Boy" for each "Prince of Persia"? A "Donnie Darko" for every "Source Code"? 'Cause to tell you the truth man, I'm starting to forget how good you REALLY are!!!
To conclude: If you like crap that "thinks" its deep and intelligent, this is the movie for you!!!
