Source Code

Although it's been available through my subscription to LoveFilm for a while now, I ended up watching it on Film4 the other day.


Jake Gyllenhaal plays a man who repeatedly lives the last eight minutes of another man's life in an effort to identify the bomber of a train before another, larger, bomb is detonated.

It's a romantic sci-fi/time-travel thriller about having second chances. The plot is a good one (a kind of techno-thriller version of Groundhog Day) and Gyllenhaal handles the role competently, but the support is good too, especially his "handler", played by Vera Farmiga. A superior pizza movie.
