SOURCE CODE

I became increasingly lost as this movie progressed. I started out strong - knowing that Jake Gyllenhaal (who is so very easy to look at and watch; he could be doing anything in any language and i'd still be interested in watching him.) was being transported back in time by some secret military agency to try to interfere and stop the bombing of a commuter train in Chicago. And until he figured it out, he would keep being whisked back.

However, as the movie progressed I became confused. At some point he was informed by this girl on the train that he was really dead even though she didn't know the dead guy was really Jake because the military had given him another life and he was not in the military but a history teacher who worked with this girl played by Michelle Monaghan.

The film should have stopped there because at this point i was able to piece together the action - somewhat. However, it went on for quite a bit and once Jeffrey Wright (who played the top guy in the military who was supposedly in charge of this mission that Jake was on) started explaining the Source Code i started almost drooling with stupidity.

There was talk of alternate universes and parallel lives and quantum physics (oh, i shook with trepidation at this word!) and finally i wasn't even sure if I existed in any form capable enough to write this review. Bill liked the movie because he's smarter than I am.
