Movie Review: Source Code…enthralls yet disappoints

It is so gripping you wouldn’t want to move from your seat, even blink an eye, lest you miss the critical element the protagonist is looking for in the 8 minute bracket he has, to save…

Almost gave away the plot there, but when I saw this trailer about a month and a half ago, its been a near desperate wait for this one to finally reach the big screen.

Till the first half broke, Source Code seemed as if it had been well worth the wait. And then such promise, such potential was frittered away quite casually in what can only be described as a lukewarm second half and an even quieter climax. Coming from Hollywood, this is highly disappointing…

If I were to draw parallels I would say Source Code starts off as a ‘Paycheck’, gripping from the word ‘go’, new things coming to light every 8 minutes (You’ll find out why), with a background score that is also very similar to Paycheck. In fact, the concept itself is so fascinating, the possibilities so immense that you brace yourself for an explosive second half.

But alas…that never happens. Perhaps the director ran out of ideas..maybe he wanted to send out a social message..whatever the context, the end of the movie is disappointing as in the case of Vantage Point, another movie that had shown a lot of promise.

While Jake Gyllenhaal puts in a convincing act, that still isn’t enough to get over the disappointment while exiting the movie hall. However, purely for its ‘unputdownable’ (an expression normally reserved for a great book) first half, you can try cracking this code this weekend
