Haha. I know the scene you're talking about. Slow motion is great when you don't abuse it. If Zach Snyder directed this it would have been twice as long.

Zach Snyder should watch this movie as it shows you how to do slow motion right.

@Rocco: No, you have anger issues because you're getting enraged over something as meaningless as a movie you didn't like and now you're yelling all over the place because of it. I'm not telling you to like the movie, I'm telling you to act your age (assuming your age is above 10 years old). I don't care if you don't like the movie, but jeez dude, calm down. Also, since when did anything in my post have to do with political correctness? All I did was explain some of the problems you had with the movie and told you to calm down, and you come in here raging like a toddler that just got his candy taken away.

the only part of the score that i did really like...was the more touching scenes (like w/ the father)...besides that it was more like an adventure-score which kind of felt awkward...BESIDES that...this movie was brilliant pretty much the entire time.

In a way...i felt involved w/ this story than Inception. I love both movies...but this DEFINITELY felt much tighter.

@rocco burntire

I mostly agree with you. I said it was at best a matinée. I don't like when a movie spends an hour explaining their gimmick, but I also don't like when a movie gives no explaination like Source Code. It was a really good TV movie, and I guess that does make it a rental.

This movie sucked ass. I went to see it because I saw that it was getting great reviews. Sat through the crap and kept thinking, when is this supposed to get interesting.

I enjoyed it, was some mindless fun as are all movies that tell you who the bad guy is right at the start and then try to make you "guess who" through the movie. I do have to agree though, Chicago would never have survived, I would have been too busy testing the best method of getting Michelle Monahan naked.

1 Jeffrey Wright's character was not some poor victim of polio. He was a veteran.

2. The scene mentioned with the bet between Jake and the comedian happens at the end, not at the beginning.

so now I have anger issues because the movie sucked? um ok ..the movie was terrible..predictable..boring..stale.. a lot of people here in the philippines walked out 45 minutes into the movie...at first I thought maybe they didn't understand the concept of the film...but I realized at the end of the movie that it was because it was shit...and I will feel anyway I like about a movie that I paid good money to see....so take your political correctness and stuff it in your brownie maker rob

@Rocco: First of all when you get so needlessly angry and start saying random swears I don't know how you expect people to take you seriously. As for the plot holes (spoilers): 1) The guy's life force doesn't go away, Jake's character becomes him. Even in the source code he died two years ago, so in a way he "becomes" him. 2) He got put into the business man because, like Timothy said, they matched due to similar age, height, physique, and synapses. The people at the base also control who he gets turned into. 3) The source code is not a infinite loop, it's explained later in the movie that each time he goes in it's an entirely different universe that goes on even after he's died. That's why he continues his life after he gets his life support pulled. Also, if these minor things are enough to get you this angry then you have some serious anger issues.

@timothy kreider yeah well bad sci fi is bad sci fi...I reject this movie because it sucked piss out of a monkeys foreskin........and here's another question....what if the guy he takes over is stuck in the bathroom with a wicked case of diarrhea and spends his 8 minutes just shitting all over the place?

@rocco burntire

It's not a 400 page book, and every sci-fi movie will have unexplained holes in it. You just have to suspend disbelief.

And the handsome business man part was kind of explained... they said he had a similar age, height, physique and, wait for it, synapses. Also, get used to movies not casting "fat ugly eskimos."
April 04, 2011 at 3:33 AM, rocco burntire said ...

this movie had huge plot holes in it....what happened to the guy whose body he took over? I.E. his soul/lifeforce/spirit or what ever?...if the source code creates parallel universes in an infinite loop that constantly start over how is that Jakes character would have a memory of the playing cards each time?...how come he gets transferred into the body of some handsome business man and not a fat ugly eskimo chick or some scrawny east indian guy from Mumbai? ....this movie might be acceptable as a two part Quantum leap episode for tv, but in the theaters where good money is involved, feels like a ripoff ....and that tacked on happy bullshit hollywood ending.....they should have just rolled the credits on the frozen kiss...but no they had to give it that farty feel good ending to keep the morons of the earth happy.....fuck this movie!!!!

The made for TV music and exaggerated side characters sucked out a lot of the suspense. The fake rules Jake needs to follow are explained by saying "it's quantum physics and complicated." I didn't hate it, but it's at best a Matinée for me.

This is my favorite movie of the year. The best Jake Gyllenhaal performance I've seen. (But I've never seen Zodiac, that performance maybe better.)

I just saw it and I really liked it. My only question is, what happened to the teacher's soul or whatever you want to call it? I know it was an alternate reality but still. Did he go into limbo or did it not even matter since he was really dead anyway?

haha good review. This movie to me was not bad but the ending. I just wish they kinda explained more
April 03, 2011 at 3:30 PM, said ...

I agree that Jake Gyllenhaal hasn't really shined since Donnie Darko APART FROM: Jarhead i really thought his performance in that was brilliant.

Gotta go with Leon. It's a good not great movie; part of that has to do with the fact that i saw this after i couldn't watch Limitless. The detective stuff feels pretty light with all the other things being juggled, so everything feels short. With so much to take in it all gets resolved rather quickly. Plus the end seemed pretty tacky to me. The character accepted his choice and was totally ready for the consequences. Then the cheesy panning freeze frame got going and i began to roll my eyes. But overall it was a good movie that did plenty of things well.

I loved this movie. Thought it was absolutely incredible. I've been having the hardest time trying to decide whether I liked this or Limitless better and I think this one wins. I'm with QbanKnight, this is a Better Than Sex!!!

@Jamie

They are mentioning videogames because in games you die and get to replay the part and learn from your mistakes, which is what Jake Gyllenhaal is doing in the film. They compared Sucker Punch to a videogame because of the visuals, the 5 item plot, and the fantasy world scenes were reminiscent of videogames. Alot of people drew the comparison between Sucker Punch and videogames. They drew the comparison to anime as well.
