Source Code: Film Review

Source code

Source code is a sci-fi thriller staring Jake Gyllenhaal. After a train is blown up by terrorists Gyllenhaal is placed or inserted (still not quite sure how it worked) into the ‘Code’; rather the consciousness of one of the passengers, that was on the train that day and it given eight minutes to relive the event and discover what really happened. An exciting film, the uncertainly of the events captures the audience as Gyllenhaal is sent back time after time to relive this event and slowly unravels what happened.

Love & Other Drugs

Love and Other Drugs featuring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal, the two were last paired up in Brokeback Mountain.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays a smooth talking pharmaceutical rep called Jaime who meet Anna Hathaways character; Maggie an aspiring artist when he trying to persuade her doctor to carry Pfizer products during one of her consults.
There is instant attraction between the two, but Maggie is wary of starting up a relationship due to her medical problem. The drama starts right from the beginning as Jamie chases Maggie and falls in love despite her condition, whilst Maggie pushes him away as she does not want her condition to rule his life.

There is a small hint of comedy in this film, other wise it is a rather serious and emotion story. It is a good watch but I would not rush back to watch it again.
