One of the movies we saw for week 15 was Source Code with Jake Gyllenhaal. Like Deb said, it was a Groundhog Day type of movie. You keep reliving the same 8 minutes over and over. At first I thought it would be one of those movies (like Groundhog Day) where you groan after the third time reliving the same moments. But they did a good job of "fast forwarding" through the same ole same ole.
Jake Gyllenhaal did a good job. He has a very genuine feel to his acting. It was sort of a one man show but he pulled it off. Of course, it was a little tense knowing that every 8 minutes a train was going to blow up but that's all part of an action movie, right? And the idea was thought provoking.
Overall I think it was a solid action movie. It's worth seeing but may not leave a huge lasting impression.
To Sum it up: Tense, thought provoking and your basic action thriller.
