Thursday Night Film Night rolled around again this week. Having been kicked off with a bang last week with Limitless, would another film be able to top that brilliance. We really didn't know, but after watching source code the answer is most definitely.. YES. What a brilliant film, Jake Gyllenhaal back to his Jarhead best coupled with the undoubted hotness of Michelle Monaghan led to this being a great find. Jeffrey Right (Peoples from Shaft) plays the genius inventor of Source Code but he's not as clever as old Jake who proves that the Source Code is better than first thought whilst blowing the mind of the viewer as the story unfolds.
The film is centered around a soldier (Gyllenhaal) who wakes up in the body of a stranger and finds out he's part of a mission to discover the bomber of a commuter train headed for Chicago. The problem is that the mission is only 8 minutes long, and is based in the memory of the stranger who died on the train. The Source Code allows Gyllenhaal to use this memory to find the bomber and save people from further attacks in the future. Sounds intriguing right? It really is, I won't divulge anymore as you should now be searching for ways to watch this film.
What I will say is that as the title suggests, Peoples is in the wrong again. The film is exciting and even though is based on the same 8 minutes repeated, does not feel repetitive at all. It is a mind blowing story once it unfolds and your mind will explode, be it out of your ass or the top of your head. A superb performance from Gyllenhaal and the added bonus of how radiantly hot Monaghan is the added kicker. GO AND SEE THIS FILM.
The task for me apart from picking pieces of my brain out of the wall and carpet in Steve's is to now find a film to top this for next week. Will the streak continue or have we already peaked. Who knows? Stay tuned to this page to find out.
