Source Code (1:34) 2011

Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up leaning against a Chicago commuter train's inside window. He learns he isn't Stevens but a history teacher commuting into the city. After eight minutes the train explodes and he reawakens inside a capsule. Stevens learns he is inside the Source Code and is advised he is on a mission to prevent future bombings. Stevens has to be sent back to the train to discover both the bomb and the identity of the bomber. This is a government operation with Colleen Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) as the army officer acting as his liaison. The explanation he is first given is that the brain has eight minutes after  it really dies to make connections so he is making a connection with one of the passengers, Sean, who died in the train wreck. While trying to uncover the bomber, Stevens develops a romantic interest in Michelle, the attractive passenger that sits across from Stevens. Will Stevens learn the identity of the bomber in time to save the world?  Fortunately, the explanation of the source code being  based on quantum physics doesn't bog down the plot. I was kind of concerned that the bomb explosions would be shown continuously throughout the movie but that didn't happened. It really was engaging to watch the film as suspects were eliminated, Stevens learns the reason as to why he is in the source code and the developing relationships between Stevens and Michelle and then Stevens and Goodwin unfold. My friend Judy and I both agreed that this was a different type of movie and it was well worth seeing.
