Review of Source Code (2011) by Digikre8 — 13 Jul 2011
For me, the movie was disappointing. Trailers looked wonderful. But they twisted a romance into this weird story about a guy who was in Afghanistan and got his body blown off so they use him as a lab-rat to find a bomb on a train - and be a Hero one more time in the eyes of the American hopefull. SO, they decide to go through these little weird scenes to try and make the movie tricky and witty. Not really working. It disturbing that Hollywood is more and more becoming a huge advertizement for the "American Way". I mean ... did he REALLY have to be part of the Afghanistan "War" to make this movie work, did he REALLY have to be a "Veteran" who saved lives? A veteran who could potentially be a "Hero" after saving more and more people. Geez, that glam stuff gets so repetitive and pathetic it makes me want to hurl.
Most viewers shrug it off as nonsense, but the Studios are really sending messages to the people watching these kind of movies. Maybe your right, maybe I am "looking to deep" into it, but if you look under all the BS plot on top - at the heart of these things is a message, and the message has nothing to do with the quality of the movie or the continuity and excitement. Unfortunate. It really could have been a great modern Sci-Fi flick. Surprised Coca-Cola or Nike hadn't hung like a banner on the outside of the train from tip to tip. Oh, and the ending. Geez! Did a 13 year old girl write that? WOW.
