The purpose of Colter's mission is to learn the identity of the bomber and prevent a similar catastrophe. As Colter lives Sean's final moments, he becomes more certain that he can prevent the first tragedy from occurring -- as long as he doesn't run out of time.

Oct 19, 2015Less action, but still a similar tale to Edge of Tomorrow, and one that I had exactly the same problem with: Choosing a sappy ending over good storytelling.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Jan 18, 2014Duncan Jones' science-fiction "Groundhog Day" is an interesting concept no matter how may times it is told, because I think that people will always find fascinating the idea of ammending the mistakes of the past and try to build a better future for ourselves and, hopefully, for everybody around us, including love. There is an infinite number of variables measured by a Statistical ratio scale in our lives. Every breath we take, every word we say, every movement we decide to make, every person we forgot to speak to, every second makes infinitesimal changes to the entire concept of existence. It makes a difference "here and there". We are reality changers. As intriguing as the idea may be, <i>Source Code</i> is a film that will be remembered for only a few years; the clichés it displays will be forgotten and the only thing they will remember is the concept, which appeals to us so much as emotional and reflective human beings. They will remember the plot and the ending, but nothing in between. Its biggest issue is the fact that it doesn't have a target audience, so the balance between genres is very unfocused. Shifting from thrilling suspense to a plot twist, to romance(?), to extremely brief action doses, to an emotional ending, to a contradictory closing credits soundtrack (did I watch a drama film or a capturing sci-fi thriller?), we have the thousandth case of wasted potential that achieved its entertainment goal just nicely. It is also good news to know that Gyllenhaal's career isn't dead yet. He will not have an undetermined number of 8-minute periods to fix his career in real life! 60/100Edgar C Super Reviewer
