Movie Review: Source Code

I can’t believe that I had this movie on my DVD shelf for years now and I just saw it!! It’s so so so so good!!! I couldn’t even look away throughout the hour and a half! Such an awesome thrilling suspense!!

Jake Gyllenhaal brilliant performance as Colter Stevens, a soldier in the military army who wakes up one day to find himself in another’s man memory of an exploding train. Colter will learn that he is inside a military device called Source Code that allowed him to relive that man’s memory in order to find out who bombed the train, so they can stop him from doing it again.

The movie is so entertaining and exciting! It’s one of those movies that make you on your edge wanting to know what will happen next. I was going back with Colter to the train trying to solve the mystery and guess who is the bomber. I mean it even had funny moments here and there. It also talks about time travel and how it has more effect than we already think we know. It plays with the mind a little and I liked that.

What I loved the most was how it’s not a commercially angled action movie. No, it’s more than that. It takes you deep into the confusion and disorientation of being in the source code and all the emotion of seeing those people on the train die over and over again.

Jake was beyond great in this movie! He really delivered his role and I can’t imagine anyone else doing it as well as he did! He seriously carried the movie on his shoulders. I loved him! I always enjoy his movies, but this one is one of his best.

If you liked Edge of Tomorrow or just looking for a fun action movie, this is for you! I recommend it completely! You won’t be bored with it at all!!

Movie Review: Snowpiercer

Chris Evans returns, after portraying Captain America, in this future thrilling sci-fi movie, as Curtis, a revolution leader in the last human home, the Snowpiercer. After human mess up as always, the earth is covered with a thick coat of snow. Everything is frozen and everyone is dead, everyone except the people riding on the Wilford state of the art train, the Snowpiercer. The train is divided into people in the front and their first class, the second class, the economy and the people in the free zone, the back of the train. After 17 years of living in complete poverty and surviving only on protein bars, the people are led by Curtis to revolt against Wilford and the people in the front.

It is so thrilling and keeps you on the edge of your seat! It’s just one hell of a train ride! Each scene takes us from one surprise to the next. You feel the characters and you cheer for them, hoping they will make it and find their freedom!

The movie is directed by the South Korean director, Joon-ho Bong. I haven’t seen any of his previous movies, but I loved his artistic touch in this movie. You can tell that even though the movie is Hollywood themed, but you can see the eastern Asia cinema in it.  It was a well-planned infusion. A lot of scenes and lines from the movie stuck in my head, but if I will choose one it will be the Axe fight scene, which was just amazing. The melody of the movement reflected the pain and suffering of people living in the back.

From the beginning you can understand the message behind the scenes with what will happen if we meddled with the environment so much that we end up ruining it and also the subject of the rich using the poor and the inequality between the groups of people. The movie is symbolic and it was done in a very brilliant way!

The cast of the movie include Oscar winners Tilda Swinton and Octavia Spencer who both were brilliant. Tilda transformed totally in the movie and she was amazing as always! Octavia, OMG! I love her. I don’t even have to explain why! She’s just awesome! Oh and I was happy to see Jamie Bell who I loved in the movie, Jumper. He was one of my favorite characters in the movie and of course Chris Evans was as brilliant as always! I’m really getting to like his acting. He’s getting really good.

So, the movie is awesome! I highly recommend it. Unless if you can’t take suspense or gruesome bloody scenes, so I advice against it.

Next Week is Spider Man 2! Hopefully I’ll review the first one this week!

Till Then!
