Army Captain Colter Stevens finds himself working on a special program where his consciousness can be inserted into another human being. The only catch is can only be there for 8 minutes at any given time. That morning, a bomb exploded on a commuter train just outside Chicago. He occupies the body of teacher going to work on that train and is confused as to what he is doing or why he is there as his last memory is of flying his helicopter on a combat mission in Afghanistan. Those in charge of the program explain to him that there is a bomb on the train, and that he must locate it. More importantly, he must identify the bomber as another bombing is expected later that day. He is also told however that he cannot change the past and can only gather information. As he develops a liking for his traveling companion Christina, he sets out to test that theory.
Leave your thoughts about Source Code.
| GuardianPhilip FrenchThis is a classic film noir amnesia plot, brilliantly handled. |
| ComingSoon.netChuck the MovieguyThink Quantum Leap meets Groundhog day with intense action and nail biting suspense. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottWhether you are a fan of science fiction or not, this is a great movie and is - ironically - the best offering in the genre since director Duncan Jones' 2009 masterpiece Moon. |
| Liverpool EchoCatherine JonesSource Code doesn't become too bogged down in the science behind the thrills, and while Colter is destined to repeat the same journey down the line, each visit is sufficiently different to hold our attention. |
| Daily Film FixJonathan W. HickmanThe ambitious and sharp Code isn't the movie you think it is. It's better... |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThere are points of comparison with Christopher Nolan's Inception. But the world of Source Code seems to me more interesting, and more able to incubate real drama, real suspense and even some real humour. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageBrian OrndorfDon't be shocked if it encourages a tear or two along the way. Jones has crafted a rounded, weighty thrill ride, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up as one of the best pictures of the year. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleDirector Duncan Jones achieves a strange and winning amalgam, a gripping action film that also works as poetry. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chaseunrelenting in its suspense, keeping the level of surprise and uncertainty at a fever pitch until the credits roll |
| Film Comment MagazineScott FoundasJones ... has a light touch of the sort that enlivens the material without trivializing it-think of it as tongue delicately navigating the perimeter of cheek |
