Title: Underrated
Product review: I think a viewer needs to be a certain type. Source code is a science fiction story. The viewer needs to be able to suspend what they know and allow themselves to go along for the ride. One thing about the story that I kept thinking was how I would do this differently, but then I realized that the character had emotional issues of his own to deal with. The progression of events demonstrates a rather typical bias against the military and the belief that they will always consider things in terms of "acceptable losses." Still, in this movie the big, bad military supervisors are dealt with rather elegantly by an underling that won't follow orders. The result is somewhat shocking on the one hand, and somewhat predictable on the other. Overall I enjoyed the story, even with the bias, the predictable issues all the way through, and the questionable science. This is science fiction - all of these things. You accept it for what it is or you don't.
