Does the Source Code bode?





If you have seen the commercials for the Source Code, just know that the commercials don't do this movie any justice. It was actually pretty good. I haven't seen that many Jake Gyllenhall movies, but this was without a doubt my favorite of his.  To be honest I had a hard time focusing on the movie due to two fat girls sitting behind me making stupid comments the entire movie, but I persevered through it and was pleasantly surprised. I don't want to talk about the storyline to the movie because I felt that not knowing what the plot was made the movie more intriguing. Just know that there is a healthy amount of mystery, a good amount of action and a small dose of humor. All in all I was happy I watched it once, but would never watch it again. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is deciding between watching The Source code or Fast Five.

Overall Score: 7

Why it isn't a 10: While the movie starts strong, I would have like to have seen the movie have a different twist, and possibly a stronger ending.
