Source Code is, indeed, one smart film, the rare kind that doesn’t coddle its audience with flashbacks to what happened five minutes ago (just in case we weren’t paying attention), or lingering camera holds on a seemingly insignificant piece of equipment, meaning it must come in handy later. The story-line even includes a few red herrings for the jaded amongst us; and, seeing how I’m more jaded than most when it comes to sci-fi as of late, I have to admit I fell for the bait at least once. The difference in this case was how pleased I was when I discovered I was wrong. But more on that later.
