Source Code: Confoundingly entertaining

The trailer for this film left much to be desired… there’s a special mission that allows a Captain to replay a crucial 8 minute scenario that, if solved, would save some people.  Don’t know who, don’t know how, and don’t know why he was chosen.  Apparently, neither does he, and so we learn what’s going on at the same time the officer does...  so you’re engaged in discovering the puzzle while you watch.  Similar to a Jason Bourne experience, swapping secret intelligence with sci-fi technology, we start with a fit of amnesia and uncover something no one was expecting.  While I’m still a bit puzzled as to what actually happened, they get points for trying a new storyline.
Verdict: worth your time… not necessarily your money (at your convenience)
