Source code (2011) Review



I am a BIG Jake fan


Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies, but as of late Jake has been in a slump (Love and other drugs =/)
So did this movie fix that?
Kinda

The movie seems like it was based on a Phillip K. dick novel, and while intimaly you think it will be a boring movie, about 20 minutes in things get going.
The acting is very good (Namely from Jake) and the action, direction, and cinematography are also very good. Also there is one scene in the movie that is absolutely gorgeous.

This movie was leading its way to a solid MUST SEE or a 9, but alas, Hollywood opted for a happy ending.

Verdict: Full price/Rental

Good

  • Thrilling
  • Action packed
  • Funny
  • Smart
  • Original (Somewhat)
  • Great character development 




Bad


  • Ending choice

  2. Jake Gyllenhall (might have messed that up) is a pretty good actor. This movie seems promising.
