Source Code Review

  1. Director: Duncan Jones 
  2. Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Jeffrey Wright, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga
  3. genre; sci-fi thriller 





The movie is about Steven's who wakes up to find himself in a train near a pretty woman known as Christina. Steven's is unsure as to how exactly that's possible since he was in Afghanistan , last time he checked. this is where Steven's comes to learn that the world he is in , is not real so to speak. coz technically he is in another mans body i.e Sean , and that's how `source code` comes in. he has eight minutes exactly , each time to figure out who bombed the train  or else the cycle repeats its self. 

What did i love about this movie??? it has an amazing plot. its the kind of movies that require your keen attention. its also addictive, i couldn't even tweet in between. so what if its kinda like DEJAVU?????? though it had a predictable ending, you know the kind where you know the boy will always get the girl . i loved Jake`s performance , you actually find yourself connecting with Steven's, here is a man not sure whether he is dead or alive and yet manages to fall in love with a girl whom he knows he can not have coz technically he is living a lie. which leaves you asking did he stay in Sean`s body at the end of it all??????? hence the whack ending if you ask me, it should have ended way before.

8/10

The Priest Review

Starring; paul Bettany , Karl Urban, Lily Collins, Christopher Plummer, Maggie Q, Cam Gigandet
Director ;scott stewart 
Genre ; action







The movie is about well basically priest vs vampires yes that plot less sad to say. the star is called `priest` okay why did i see that coming , whose daughter lily has been kidnapped by vampires , ugly vampires . Priest sets out to find his daughter even after the `clergy` warn him against doing so coz they believe vampires no longer exist or maybe they are just living in denial beats me.

This movie is just shallow though i wasn't surprised this are the same people who gave us Legion the only good thing it that its better than legion., then again any movie is probably better than legion . The film was adapted from a Korean comic book , yes sadly another fact that comes as no surprise. As you watch the movie you will feel like you have watched it before , it has dark knight, Eli, wolverine and even underworld ideas all in to one.all in all its a movie you will enjoy watching especially the fight scenes the plot may be far fetched but it grows on you as you watch it. am not a huge fan of Paul bettany but he should really stop acting movies that are not worth his acting skills.

4/10
