Sci-fi thriller from British director Duncan "son of David Bowie" Jones (Moon).

When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In the bizarre assignment, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code": a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last eight minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.

"Solid execution and some provocative ideas can't save Source Code from a fatal hubris, as it thinks itself far more clever than it actually is and assumes it's earned emotions at which it's only hinted."

—

Variety

"Source Code is one of the best films of 2011 - it's intelligent, ferociously good film making, and a brilliant experience which rewards with multiple viewings."

TVNZ

"The Moon man returns to Earth with a clever, classy and affecting thriller that never goes off the rails. If Bowie isn’t careful, he’ll soon be better known as “Duncan Jones’s father”..."

—

Total Film

"An ingenious thriller that comes billed as science fiction, although its science is preposterous."

—

Roger Ebert

"Rare sci-fi thriller of brains and heart"

—

New Zealand Herald

"The movie boils down to one character, acting under enormous pressures of space and time, racing to solve a mystery. In this case, that may be good enough."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"An exciting, intellectually stimulating science-fiction thriller which also connects emotionally. Everyone involved earns a promotion to the premiership."
