Source Code

After reading the reviews for "Source Code," I was expecting a compelling storyline, great acting, and an "Inception"-like surprise ending. The most I can say about the movie is that it was just okay. The storyline, while repetitive, seemed to work very well. Though not everyone wants to go into a movie and see the same eight minutes repeated over and over and over, but I didn't have a problem with it. The scenes seemed to change just enough to still create a gripping story without spoiling the ending too soon.

2 years after his previous film, Moon, Duncan Jones' new film, Source Code, hit the theaters. After showing potential through his previous film, Duncan has now proved himself to be on the front of new directors, with the promise of becoming a great 'new-generation' director, possibly even reaching the acclaim that directors like Christopher Nolan and David Fincher have received.

Review
The movie comprises the time before that renaissance, as he strains to choose whether or not to keep his family engaged in his career, chiefly his manager mother, played in another of Melissa Leo's powerfully indomitable, matter-of-fact performances, and his fellow boxer and trainer half-brother Dicky, played by a bizarrely compelling Christian Bale, and his astonishingly intolerant, self-absorbed sisters, whose presence gives Mickey that extra boost of respect from us, as it must've been hell's seventh circle growing up in an isolated household with them.
