REVIEW.
The Movie "Source Code" starts with Jake Gyllenhaal regaining consciousness and finding himself sitting across Michelle Monaghan in train bound to Chicago and he suddenly finds himself trapped in a body of someone else and cant recollect how he came into that train and why is Michelle Monaghan calling him Shawn Fennters (a teacher) while he thinks he is a US-Army pilot posted in Afghanistan and he cant recollect why and how everything is strange around him suddenly.He checks himself out in the mirror and finds he has a completely diffrent face of someone he doesn't recognize and suddenly the train gets blown into pieces by a powerful blast.
And after the blast again Jake Gyllenhaal finds himself in a dark capsule with just a monitor in front of him and Vera Fermiga looking at him through it calling herself Collen Goodwill and asking Jake Gyllenhaal to recollect what he just saw and the name the person who blew the train. Jake Gyllenhaal can barely understand what she is talking and why isn't he in Afghanistan with his unit, While Vera Fermiga repeatedly asks him to recollect what he just saw and tells him that hes a soldier on a mission called "Source Code" to find the bomber who has just bombed a train in Chicago and is planning to detonate a Radioactive bomb in matter of few hours and he has been sent in the past to find the culprit with help of a computer program called "Source Code".
Now "Source Code" is a software designed to use the time for which a humans brain remains active and alive even after his death which is precisely to be 8 minutes, So Jake Gyllenhaal has been ported into Shawn Fennters body who died in the bomb blast on that particular train and sent into the past which is supposedly a parallel time string and now he has to find out who planted the bomb there so the US Army can prevent more bombs from getting detonated.
Then after making Jake Gyllenhaal's character understand what he is suppposed to do by going into the past
he is repeatedly sent into past for 8 minutes exactly everything to try and connect all the signs and all and try and find the bomber and so a series of events happen in which all high packed action and intense drama takes place and Jake Gyllenhaal falls in love with Michelle Monaghan's character.
The makers of "Source Code " think it cant change the future but it can be just utilized to know about the exact things happened in past but Jake Gyllenhaal proves them wrong and even tries to save the bomb from detonating which has already happened and even gets a long long kiss with Michelle Monaghan .
Well the move is fast paced , it stays with the plot and story line, theres never a dull movement in the entire movie, it keeps u on the edge of your seat, it keeps you very much interested and leaves you bitting your nails in anxiety and trust me you just cant predict whats gonna happen next in the movie . The movie Source Code is really that good .
The move is narrated very well you get caught in the real and source code world and then the protagonist wants to be in the source code rather than the real life where he is told that hes actually dead.
Source Code is a must watch will entertain you immensely . Just go and catch it ASAP.
