Movie #465 "Source Code" --- still busy watching tons of Naperville film festival entries (and judging), but we did manage to sneak in this first-rate sci fi/action/love story. And Jake G. has never been better! I liked the tight script, and it always kept me guessing. The overall idea that no one was sure how the source code would work helped everyone to keep guessing ---- I guess people would fault the ending a little (for being too pat) but I thought it was satisfactory --- it could have been a tad clearer, but it was good and wouldn't miss all the excitement in this film just because the end could be a tad clearer. I liked it and recommend it --- even to all you nonscifi people --- it isn't heavily in that at all!
4 stars
