Ultimately, Source Code makes good on its Hitchcockian opening sequence -- it may pale in comparison to the master, but it's a fun, puzzle-filled ride, with excellent pacing and a mounting uneasiness that recalls the best episodes of The Twilight Zone.

Source Code is a sci-fi thriller that simply shouldn't work as well as it does.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

It's this emotional arc underlying the ticking-time-bomb plot that keeps the movie from succumbing to its flaws.

John Swansburg, Slate

A thoroughly original, imaginative and fast-flying tale in which the Groundhog Day aspects are secondary to a story of service, honor and dedication.

Frank Lovece, Newsday

Holes in logic get swept aside by the brisk pace and stimulating tale.
