The opening credits are wonderful aerial shots of Chicago and the surrounding countryside. I don't think I have ever been treated to such beautiful views of that area before. I was almost reluctant to join this cast:
- Jake Gyllenhaal ("Love and Other Drugs") plays a wounded helicopter pilot who wakes up on a train conversing with a young woman who seems to know him. He is disoriented, upset and angry...until the train blows up, killing everyone on board.
- Michelle Monaghan ("Eagle Eye") is the pleasant young woman who wants to establish a meeting of the minds with this guy who can't seem to focus...the first time...or the second...
- Vera Farmiga ("Up in the Air") plays an officer assigned to work with our hero on the Source Code, a military experiment which captures the last eight minutes of a person's brain waves.
- Jeffrey Wright ("Cadillac Records") is the brilliant scientist who has developed this secret process as a possible way to prevent terrorist attacks.
Be prepared for frantic action, no profanity, no sweaty bodies and LOTS of blowie uppie stuff! Oh, and remember to suspend disbelief.
