Don?t let the title fool you into thinking that Source Code is a hacker movie, or even about anything remotely related to Course VI. ?Source Code? refers to a fictional technology that lets people revisit the last eight minutes of a dead person?s life. In the wake of a bombing attack on a Chicago-bound train, the government sends Army Capt. Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) into the Source Code again and again to learn the identity of the bomber. Through repeated visits, Stevens falls for his fellow passenger Christina Warren (Michelle Monaghan) and tries to find a way to save her, even after repeatedly being told by his commanding officers (Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright) that it would be pointless. Source Code, they explain, is ?not time travel, but time reassignment.? If that didn?t make sense, don?t worry, because it?s all quantum mechanics and ?parabolic calculus.? Tricky stuff indeed.
