"Source Code" more poignant than "Inception", Jake Gyllenhaal sells risky conceptual elements

    Jake Gyllenhaal plays Colter Steven in "Source Code" (2011)

    "So begins Source Code, a stunning work of modern science fiction from hyper-talented British filmmaker Duncan Jones.
    While the science underpinning Source Code is wonky at best, the fiction in play is grippingly solid throughout.

    Better still, courtesy of a cracking screenplay by Ben Ripley, the sparse and uncluttered direction of Duncan Jones teases a soulfulness from Colter's tale that is genuinely moving.

    In its best stretches, Source Code achieves both the power and the poignancy that ever so slightly eluded last year's brain-addling hit Inception.
    As Colter, Gyllenhaal deploys a commanding, yet believable presence that sells the riskier conceptual elements of the tale with no questions asked". Source: www.heraldsun.com.auSource URL: http://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/2011/05/code-more-poignant-than-jake-gyllenhaal.html
