Source Code

Source Code (2011) starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga. Gyllenhall plays an agent sent back in time on a mission: He must find the terrorist who explodes a bomb on a train. The catch: Gyllenhaal goes back as a passenger on the train, and he has only eight minutes to find and identify the bomber. Also, the bomber is a fellow passenger, and there are hundreds of people on the train. There are other surprises in this movie's plot, but I won't give them away. Unfortunately, in the last half-hour, the film veers from speculative sci-fi into romance territory. It has a happy ending, but I wasn't satisfied with it; it seemed forced. The disc has subtitles in English, but not closed captions. Grade: B-
