No sophomore slump for Duncan Jones, director of Moon. Source Code is a taut, suspenseful and well-executed sci-fi thriller with a lot of big ideas about fate. The premise isn’t mind-blowingly original and neither is the resolution, but Jones, Ben Ripley and company are teeming with competence, which is more than you can ask for these days. The cast is strong, the pace is brisk, the look is cool and it gives a little hope for humanity. Not a bad night at the movies. Looking forward to the next big thing from these guys.
