Source Code (2011) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : Clever SF thriller within repeated 8 minutes
Above all, “Source Code” is something I welcome without hesitation: a smart SF thriller with efficiency and skills. Its scientific settings are a little too shaky and ambiguous, and, to be frank with you, I had to operate some parallel … Continue reading
