"SOURCE CODE"

Jake Gyllenhaal was terriffic in the lead role. Wow! Michelle Monaghan, couldn't have been better as the beautiful, appealing, charming girl he meets (and obviously falls in love with) on the train, a train that is/was blown up in 8 minutes, during which his (government) mission is to find the bomb, and the bomber. This Science Fiction story written by Ben Ripley ("Believe it or Not," coincidence?!) and Directed by Duncan Jones, was wonderful, totally engaging and fascinating to watch. The superb Vera Farmiga (from "Up in the Air" with George Clooney) played Jake's "handler" or "control"??(I'm using this for want of better terms.) Basically, she's in charge of his recurring 8 minutes on the train, to solve the mystery, and obtain information. Jeffrey Wright plays her boss, "Dr. Rutledge" who appears from time to time to supervise the mission. (He explains the technology of "Source Code.") He's excellent, too! FOUR STARS
