When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code," a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. (Summit Entertainment)

Jones' first film Moon was like a feature length Twilight Zone episode this is Quantum Leap right down to a voice cameo from Scott Bakula. I enjoyed it but as someone who has watched a lot of science fiction television shows it was puzzling to see the same thing at the cinema. Mark Kermode in his review talked about it having a big budget but with maybe 3 sets, 2-3 locations and some aerial train shots this could have been a TV pilot right down to the special effects.

Dr. Martin Harris awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife suddenly doesn't recognize him and another man has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by mysterious assassins, he finds himself alone, tired and on the run. Aided by an unlikely ally, Martin plunges headlong into a deadly mystery that will force him to question his sanity, his identity, and just how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth. (Warner Bros. Pictures)

Entertaining and enjoyable.
