Product Description
-------------------
Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) is on a mission to
identify a bomber who destroyed a train just hours earlier and
who plans to kill thousands more with a much larger explosion in
the heart of Chicago.
A top-secret program, named ‘Source Code’, allows Colter to exist
briefly as another man in the parallel reality of the doomed
commuter train. Each time he returns to the train, Colter has
just eight minutes to uncover the bomber’s identity. The more he
learns, the more convinced he becomes that he can prevent the
deadly blast from ever happening – unless time runs out first.
Filled with mind-boggling twists and heart-pounding suspense,
Source Code is a smart action-thriller directed by Duncan Jones
(Moon) also starring Michelle Monaghan (Eagle Eye, Due Date),
Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air, The Departed), and Jeffrey Wright
(Quantum of Solace, Syriana).

.co.uk Review
-------------
In his second movie Source Code--a looping, hall-of-mirrors
story about a downed helicopter pilot who must revisit the same
passage of time--Duncan Jones restores some of the virtues of
traditional sci-fi, in which technology is just a framework for
human drama and where the efficient sketching of smart ideas has
as much impact as any a of CGI. Such is the case with Source
Code, in which Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) is suspended in a
digital limbo (the 'source code') by his bosses, who
force him to revisit the same eight minutes on board a
Chicago-bound commuter train--right before it explodes. With each
attempt to ID the bomber--a satisfying picture puzzle of close
detail and shifting perspectives--Colter's growing fondness for
the doomed commuters divides his loyalties, drawing him into a
battle with the es themselves. With shades of 12 Monkeys,
Avatar and Groundhog Day, Source Code is also the up-tempo cousin
of Jones' debut feature Moon, in which a lonely worker’s right to
mortality is also violated by a futuristic organization who, in
Moon's case, would like to cut an ethical corner (and the cost of
lunar labour). In the space of these two movies, Duncan Jones has
proved he's auteur material and, like the recurring eight-minute
sequence at its heart, Source Code feels like the explosion of an
exciting new talent--right before it explodes. --Leo Batchelor
