I was lucky enough to review Duncan Jones’ sophomore effort for Moving Pictures.
| Quote: |
| The 2009 freshman endeavor by director Duncan Jones — the inventive, captivating, low-budget “Moon” — garnered abundant critical praise and modest financial gains. Assisted by a brilliantly crafted Ben Ripley screenplay and a bigger budget, Jones returns with the cerebral science-fiction thriller “Source Code.” |
| Quote: |
| Through a creative use of lighting, architecture, space and action, Jones presents a dynamic thrill ride that achieves the seemingly impossible feat of being simultaneously claustrophobic and expansive. Though significant portions of the film occur within small, enclosed spaces, the superior acting and inventive script push the pathos beyond its settings, successfully propelling the tense story at a breakneck pace. |
| Quote: |
| In one of the finest and most intelligent film interpretations of Phildickian concepts, Jones and Ripley smartly progress the events to their logical and often surprising conclusions. The exciting “Source Code” provides the best and most memorable movie so far this year. |
