"Source Code" and "Jane Eyre" Movie Reviews
Independent Films, Movie Reviews, Interviews
My movie reviews of the new films "Source Code" starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan from director Duncan Jones; and "Jane Eyre" with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender from director Cary Fukunaga.
"Source Code" tells the story of decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens who wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code," a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.
"Jane Eyre" is based on the beloved Charlotte Bronte classic.
Both films are good, but there's only one pick of the week! Can you guess which one I like better?
