Source code

Yesterday, I went to the movies to watch Source Code, the latest movie of Jake Gyllenhaal, one of my generation favorites (I liked his performance even in Bubble Boy but it was Brokeback Mountain that made me take him seriously).

Source Code It's the typical thriller with a bit of science fiction, a bit of love, and a bit of too-much-imagination on the screenplay. But, and here it goes a positive but, it is popcorn good!

Let's talk about:

1. Acting.

Vera Farmiga and Gyllenhaal are always up to the level (not the same story with Michelle Monaghan, who always appears to play the same role; and to top it off, her face looks different  now). In this one, Farmiga can bear her role basically with the expressions of her face. Impressing, isn't it? 

2. Action.

As almost any good thriller from a big studio, is filled with good sequences of action and timing is always perfect. You can expect several scenes with outstanding effects and a very correct film editing.

3. Story.

The script and good performance of the leading man, keep us expecting what's next the whole movie. The idea and the development are very satisfactory. It is only by the end that I felt it a little bit too happy ending film when it wasn't needed. 

In a few words: It's not superb but it's well done and entretaining. If you watch it, you will spend some good time enjoying whether Gyllenhaal eyes or Monaghan smile. 

Advice: Don't watch the trailer if not necessary. It shows a lot.
