A review...."Source Code"

I met Jake Gyllenhall on the set of "Brothers" and he was a very nice guy to all the extras and crew, so I try to see all his films. I also think he is a good actor.

"Source Code" is an engagingly, interesting thriller even though the premise is a bit hard to believe. No dull moments, good direction, casting, script, cgi; this makes for a pleasant way to spend an afternoon and escape into the fantasy world that movies provide. Well worth seeing!

This movie was better than I thought it would be, and I thought it was going to be good.
Not many other words to describe it without giving away the story.
The romance side of it was well acted, and the chemistry excelled that,I like that it wasn't like all other movies based on a overplayed story line. It was quite unique in that factor.

Star & Flag for you (:

Wow that movie looks great, I'd heard of it but now I'm definitely going to have to make time to go see it. Thanks for sharing OP!

Thanks for the post OP.

I have been planning on seeing this movie since I first saw the trailer a couple weeks ago.
Although next time you plan on 'reviewing' the movie I suggest you put more than just a few sentences into said review.

Thanks again and take care.

Funny was watching TV and just saw this on television! It looks like a great flick. I hope I can scrape up the $40 it costs to take someone out to a movie and eat. By the time it gets to video there's apt to be all new technology.

I try and just give my personal opinion without spoilers as to plot, story line, twist etc. The trailers do enough of that.

Feel free to make your own reviews of the films you see in any manner you see fit.

Look for it on megarelease, great movie, very cool idea. Somehow once a movie is made about something though, it then becomes real (the matrix) so looking forward to this happening in the future to cut down on crime. To comment on it further I believe ruins the plot since it is hard not to give away a plot point from just expressing what you like about the film.

2 thumbs up for me, and my dog too if he had thumbs

Very good movie although I think it too long for him to understand what his job was. As for the premise I disagree I believe that it's entirely possible. Ten years ago the government was ten years ahead of the rest of the general public in technology. You take that advancement and multiply the rate of advancement made by the general public in the last ten years. Then add the accelerated rate of government advancement and I would not put it past them if they were 100 years ahead by now. What they chose to advance in is way beyond my knowledge.

The movie is phenomenal. In a stale room filled with hollywood remakes and shams, it's a breath of fresh air.
