Source Code

With so many movies coming out lately, it's hard to find one that has an original plot line.  Even though the way I would describe the movie as a combination of Vantage Point and Inception, it has a very unique story.  The main character is Captain Colter Stevens who takes the identity of Sean Fentress by using the Source Code, a program that relives someone's last 8 minutes before that person died, to figure out who bombed a train.  Captian Stevens relives Sean's last 8 minutes in the train several times, every time gaining another clue to the location of the bomb and who the bomber was.
There were several themes that resounded throughout the movie, but two of them that I really liked were, should you pull the plug on someone who is half dead and living your life the fullest.  It was really neat to watch how the story unfolded, because there were three parts where my friend and I were thinking, how are they going to resolve this?  Not to mention that the ending had a crazy twist to it.  So without giving more away than I already have, this movie is a must see. Though it might not be what you think when you see the poster for it, the story is good and will have you thinking about it after the credits.
