He is sent back and is going through the whole thing again and tries to find who the bomber is but fails and the bomb goes off and he is back in the pod. He is sent back again and still can't find out anything. When he comes back he asks what is going on, Goodwin and Rutledge, the scientist in charge tells him he is part of a project that can put someone in another person's consciousness during the last 8 minutes of their life. Stevens says why doesn't he just stop the bomb, he is then told that he is not going back in time but placed in the moment so he can find out who the bomber is and if there are any other targets...

Review:
As you may have read this is action, mystery, romance movie. It is also sci-fi and thriller. And it really is all that. I must say, I didn't expected "Source Code" to be this good. But it was even better. There are no big action scenes,but there is plenty of action, there are no love scenes, but it has romance, there is time travel which makes it sci-fi. But most of all this is a thriller that will keep you interested till the end. With a great story and an excellent performance from all the actors this is a movie you do not want to miss.

Rating: 8/10                                                                  Buy at Amazon: Source Code
