Default Anyone seen "Source Code" ?

The film, has to go into my top ten, really enjoyed it, made me well up a bit, which for me is very unusual not being that emotional but was a brilliant film and goes into my top ten,

Limitless worth a look as well, also pretty good.

I thought it was good but choose a lazy, sugar on top ending, so in the end was just a throw away film whereas it could have been really profound.

Spoiler alert !


I really enjoyed the ending, the characters were worthy of the outcome, sugar on top and all, didnt resent it one iota like I do with some films, Mamma Mia is on, and I cant remember the outcome but them all being flayed alive would have been too good for them.

I saw this on Friday, wasnt overly impressed with the film. It was ok I guess, but not one I'll watch a second time.

Agree with that,

I thought it would have been better, worth a watch but not a 2nd watch.

I saw this last night, quite enjoyed it. Though one glaringly obvious mistake.

The "source code" is essentially the brain scan of a corpse that produces the last 8 minutes of the dead person's life (Sean the teacher killed on the train). Colter's (the brain dead soldier) consciousness implanted in to Sean's body in the source code program to find information about a terrorist attack. Here's the mistake, how can Colter get information about the details of the terrorist and also how is he able to get the registration of the white van and know of the bomb it contained? Remember Colter is reliving Sean's last 8 minutes and the source code would be based on what Sean observed in his last 8 minutes and his last 8 minutes were on the train only.

Good film nonetheless.

Good film nonetheless.
There was a kind of half-arsed explanation of it in the film I seem to remember, on the other hand, its not real, suspend disbelief and enjoy !
