Source Code review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/11/11
A film in the genre of The Matrix, Surrogates and a touch of Donnie Darko/Groundhog Day when it comes to time and technology. The first few scenes are a bit confusing since you are witnessing de javu. Jake Gyllenhaal's character is a soldier used as a test subject for a project that may save lives. The only time the film gets interesting is when the Dr. Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright), who created source code explained the machine and finding out the main characters situation. It had some really weird moments where he accuses some people of the bomber. Trial and error I guess.
The cast delivers and the effects worked well for the film. There were internal messages from the film was imparting like having no regrets, forgiving people, enjoy life because you never know when it would last. Still, this doesn’t make it a classic film with the same elements as the movies I’ve mentioned above. This movie was entertaining and thought provoking, but could have been better.
