Source Code

Source Code is a movie that messes with the idea of time travel, but not real time travel. It's kinda hard to follow in the movie so I will explain it to you now. Basically when you are in the Source Code you can go back into the last 8 minutes of someones life. So our Jake Gyllenhaal plays a soldier who goes back into this mans life for his last 8 minutes. The man was on a train and the train blows up. Colter (Jake) must go back and try and find the bomb and figure out who set it. Even though all this happened in the past it can help the future. There is another bomb that is suppose to go off in Chicago in a few hours. The government figures that if they can figure out who set off the bomb in the past they can stop the one in the future.

I know it is a lot of take in but it's not too hard to follow in the movie. It's just one of those things where you just have to accept this reality and let the movie roll on! Most of the film is Colter going back to the train over and over and over and over. I have to say it gets a little repetitive and thank goodness Jake is so cute. In the beginning it is more annoying that you have to go back because whenever you get somewhere he blows up. Plus the military people are a pain in the butt and you just want them to go away. It's one of those moments where you are like "I get you are trying to save the world but you are driving me crazy!"

The movie adds in a few really good twists that help you to get back into the movie. They add a little every time so you don't get too bored too fast. It was a pretty good movie it just slows down in bits.

Over all I give it a B-
