Source Code (2011) Review

Source Code is another film that resets the day until the protagonist learns how to solve his problem. Like groundhog day and Edge of Tomorrow. These kinds of film have proved to be extremely entertaining, and Source Code is no exception. But it doesn't even compare in quality to either. Source Code is insanely original, much more original than the others, but it tries far too hard. It's a mess. Every moment of the film we're being clobbered with sci-fi ideas, and soon, it becomes confusing. And unlike Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow, our protagonist doesn't wake up in the same spot every death. Between his death and wake, he has to communicate with others about what he's doing in the resetting day. And after a while, it gets tiring. The ending wraps things up well, but in all, it's far too complicated.
Movie Rating: B
