the source code is a film that in my opinion is a complete rip of of back to the future a single person has to go to the past and changes the course of events that happened in the past to make them better in the future. sounds a lot like back to the future if you ask me the only difference between the two is that back to the future featured a car and source code is about a man that is killed in action but hes brains till remains active. he is later breifed by the military that a bomb went off earlier that day and he needs to go back in time and fix that problem by finding the bomb. after inevitable amounts of fails he finally finds the bomb which was located in the vent above the toilet seat. after trying to disarm it again and again he finds out that some thing is still missing. there is a girl on the train that he knows and after spending so much time with her he falls in love with her and after a while he finds out she was in love with him. after he tried and tried to disarm the bomb the commander gave up with him and then told him he was goimg to be shut off, the commander however was lying he was going to wipe the part of hes memory where he went back in time and make him start over and save other people. the man man in the machine askes the woman if she wuld let him go back in and that he knew what he had to do so going against order she done it when he went back in he took both of the phones off of the bomb so that it couldnt be activated then handcuffed the person who was going to detonate the bomb and phoned the police so that he got caught after making the call he text the woman thta let him go back in to let her know that it is still reality and not a whol new place. the man then told a comedian to make everyone on the train laugh and then went to the girl he loved and kissed her this made it the perfect moment for him because he thought he was goin to die for good just after and that he would die very happy. but shortly after he finds out that it was real and continued living a amazing life with the girl he loved.awwww i always love happy endings

the tension in this film is very different to all of the rest of thrillers it diddnt give you the right thrill you was expecting it was more of a thriller for the people in the film which made it quiet genius.

my overall opinion on the film would be that its worth a watch it may not be the best film but its certainly a lot different. i would call it a three way thriller its the man against the time aganist the bomb.
