  • When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he’s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he’s ever known, he learns he’s part of a government experiment called the “Source Code,” a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.

Source Code

by lrm1928

This movie was surprisingly a good SciFi watch. Lots of philisophical topcis to discuss afterwards. Don't assume you know what will happen as there are twists and turns....

Yes, seems like Ground Hog Day in the beginning but it's not. Stay with it for a thoughtful and innovative story....

I'm still not sure what "source code" means here. I suspect the actors, the director, and the screenwriter haven't a clue either. But the thing keeps you watching. Read full review
