The plot: After just a week of its release; heat entusiasically welcomes Source Code into our reviewing mix. We could never of dreamt the type of response that the film recieved, it's become a huge deal for sci-fi thriller fans across the UK. So, we made it our priority to review it for you (Thank us later). The main character, Colter Stephens (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) is sent on a quite literally out-of-body experience. He wakes up on a (what seems to be) perfectly average train and quickly realises that he has the intentity of a different man named Sean. He doesn't, however, realise the emotion-wrenching mission that he has to complete within those 8 minutes!
What's right with it?: Every action movie needs a bit of romance mixed in. heat enjoyed how cleverly the relationship was builtup between Colter and Christina, along with the life-threatening action taking place. We also liked the repeatative beginning of the film, the subtle differences in each shot didn't bore us and it doesn't give too much away - we won't spoil it by saying how.
What's wrong with it?: The beginning may of worked well; but the ending seemed a bit too confusing - you'd have to watch Source Code a fair few times to take in what is actually happening. Perhaps it would've been a good idea to stretch the film into two parts?
