Synopsis: When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he’s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he’s ever known, he learns he’s part of a government experiment called the “Source Code,” a program that enables him to cross over into another man’s identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. Filled with mind-boggling twists and heart-pounding suspense, Source Code is a smart action-thriller.

Thoughts: Damn. I was really hoping for something a little more original in the trailer for Source Code. Reason being, it’s directed by Duncan Jones whose debut film, ‘Moon’, was effing phenomenal. Source Code does feature one of my favorite actor, Jake Gyllenhaal, but it looks a hell of a lot like Tony Scott’s Déjà Vu. My feelings on this one are more personal than anything. Expectations and originality aside, Source Code as a whole looks to be an entertaining movie. Although I don’t know if I will be able to take this movie seriously at all. The government created technology that allows for someone to transfer into someone else’s body, BUT ONLY for the last 8 minutes of of their life? Oddly far fetched and specific. I know I know, I can say that about a lot of things. But the tone of this trailer is desperate, which means it really wants me to feel for the story. But I can’t do that if I am subconsciously thinking how absurd in detail the technology is to begin with. Ok, will stop thinking now.

Source Code hits theaters April 15th, 2011. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, and Jeffrey Wright. Directed by Duncan Jones.
