The film is about a soldier who wakes up on a train, and is in the body of another man, who is accompanied by a beautiful woman. He has no clue what is going on and within a few minutes the train explodes. Soon the soldier wakes up in capsule where he learns he is in a government program called source code which is able to occupy the last 8 minutes of someones life. His mission is to figure out who blew up the train, because there will another attack soon.
Jake Gyllenhaal gives may be one of his best performances of his career here. He has to go through so much arrange emotion here, sadness, confused, anger, romance, and being an action hero all at the same time. This role has also what all actors like "catharsis". Its one of the best Hollywood leading male performances I've seen in awhile. Michelle Monaghan is also good romantic interest too.
The film has problem though, the score feels cheap, and some of the cgi moments also looked cheap too. The ending is also a bit of an cop-out too. However the editing is good and the sound design works to great effect. The scenes are so well written and acted that I'm able to forgive its flaws.
