Duncan Jones' new film Source Code wastes little time setting up the characters or plot, and simply plunges you straight into this sci-fi thriller, and hardly slows down for either for the rest of the film. While it's a fun ride, one that keeps you engaged throughout, it doesn't give you the time needed to explain how this is happening or to build the relationships of the film (unlike the standard of sci-fi thrillers, Inception, which does both incredibly well.) Despite these faults (and some corny performances from Jeffery Wright and Michelle Monaghan), Source Code is an entertaining and relatively clean action thriller that hints that the value and dignity of human life is more important than breakthroughs and scientific opportunities.
