There are so many action sci-fi films in the Hollywood film industry, mostly are so common in their core ideas and styles. Some are so great that they cannot be forgotten, some are just good, so-so, and some are so dull. Source Code, a new movie which is directed by Duncan Jones, produced by Summit Entertainment film production company, can be put into the good category. Though the film director is famous of his great debut film Moon, Source Code seems to be a copy of those other nice-to-enjoy action sci-fi films.
Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) was a Marine soldier fighting in Afghanistan. Once, he wakes up in a commuter train before a pretty woman (Michelle Monaghan) who calls him Shaun. But he is not Shaun, of course. He is, seemingly without his own consent and awareness, the chosen one to do a rescuing duty set by a group of government apparatuses. He is put into the mind of someone in the commuter train to get to know who or what explodes the train afterwards. The core of his job is simply to prevent the next train explosion.
But the job is proved to be not easy for Stevens, for he has to watch every one in the train, indicate who is nervous who is not, who looks suspicious and who looks just normal. He keeps being back and forth between the train which has been exploded previously and his sanctum where the real him is placed. And to add up all the things he has to face up, he also has to accept the fact that he slowly falls in love with the woman in front of him and that eventually he wants to “get back” and save her.
