Source Code

Source Code (2011) is Duncan Jones's sci-fi thriller, available to watch online on iFILM. Army pilot Colter Stevens wakes up inside a stranger's body on a commuter train into Chicago. Eight minutes later, the train explodes.

Then it starts over. Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) relives the same final minutes again and again, dropped into a dead passenger's mind by a secret military program. His job: find who planted the bomb before the same attacker hits the whole city. Across from him sits Christina (Michelle Monaghan), who has no idea what is happening, while handler Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) feeds him orders and quietly knows more than she lets on. Each run frays his nerves a little more, and Stevens starts to suspect something is wrong with him too.

Screenwriter Ben Ripley builds the plot as a time loop where the detective puzzle keeps bumping into a harder question: what is left of a person after death? This second feature from Jones, after Moon, runs a lean 93 minutes with barely a wasted scene. Stream Source Code (2011) online on iFILM.
