| The
science behind Source Code
doesn't always make sense, but never slows the film down. The main character spends most of the movie as confused as the audience, and just when we're starting to get the drift, the hero beats us to the punch. So just stick with it, and you'll come out trying to solve this eight-minute puzzle -- offering a series of different endings. After watching the same mysterious train wreck many times, you can't really call this movie a complete train wreck. |
Source Code is a cheat from
beginning to end. It never really plays fair with the audience, but that's okay -- entertainment rarely does. This sci-fi thriller / love story takes on a different perspective every time our hero is sent back to do his job, to "find the bomber, which would be easy if there weren't so many distractions. It's a modern fairy tale with an illogical twist -- enjoy! |
Source Code
is a twisty brainteaser action mystery thriller. If you are willing to use your imagination on this time-travel explosive train ride and take the futuristic science without proof along with the plot holes, you could be ready for a mind-bending virtual reality experience in which existence is more a state of mind than a state of being. The film is well-paced and energetic, and unlikely to bore anyone. Remember, one doesn't have to fully understand all its science fiction elements in order to appreciate the way things work out. |
