Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Jake Gyllenhaal looks the part and acts really well.. Vera Farmiga looks gorgeous and Michelle Monaghan looks extremely beautiful. The concept of the movie is very original and the execution of the original idea is perfect here.. Jeffery Wright is another class actor. I was blown away by the film's premise and although a bit far fetched but it was extremely entertaining

I liked it a lot, except for the last scene which was an attempt from the film maker to throw in a last second plot twist that must have been intended be a guaranteed "home-run" but failed to do so. If anything it ruins the whole narrative of the movie up to then, and could have easily been avoided by just being a tad more linear than going for the "unexpected" alternative. The last scene really serves to make the movie "shoot itself in both feet" and brings everything down. Which is sad, as that scene isn't even necessary to the film or sequence of events. Also I found the movie lacked a bit of "depth", its too superficial. Great potential but ultimately a flop of sorts, I don't recommend it, there are plenty other more awesome movies out there.

Despite its short run time, Source Code manages to cover a great deal of exciting scenes and twists (some more predictable than others, but they are exciting and warranted nonetheless). Its best to go in knowing a minimal amount of what is going to happen. In fact, the movie itself is minimal, but by answering things that are usually important to the story at a rapid pace, the minimalist effect works well. Some may complain of the ending, but it works within the story well and leaves the audience with a large amount of space to think. All in all, an enjoyable ride that will leave you contemplating what you saw and satisfied with its workmanlike nature.

Characters and acting: First of all, Jake Gyllenhaal has proved himself. He's great in the role. Everyone else if fine. There isn't much character motivation or development, but characters are likable or understandable. There isn't much emotion though, except for a touching scene that (minor spoilers) involves a conversation between a character and his/her father.Story and dialogue: The story is what makes this movie. It's awesome and original. Despite some plot holes near the third act. The dialogue is fine, but sometimes there is too much exposition or the lines aren't exactly 'human'.Editing and pacing: Nothing spectacular or outstanding, but it does the job well. Let's say you wouldn't notice it anything good or bad.Cinematography and effects: Some really nice shots in this movie, but others are lacking. With some beautiful wide shots, but on the other hand some dark, barely visible shots. The effects aren't the best, but the movie doesn't rely on them, only uses them when necessary, they are fine for the size this movie has.Deeper meaning or motives/themes: Barely any, perhaps something that has to do with free will, or being human, but that's not really addressed.Tone: Mysterious, suspenseful.Emotional response: I was invested and excited. Wanted to know where the story would go. Rating: Source Code is an above average movie to watch on an evening with friends. Don't expect a great movie but a fun movie. 7/10
