Courtesy - The Sunday Leader By Sumaya SamarasingheCaptain Colter Stevens wakes up in a train with absolutely no idea how he got there. A lovely woman, Christina is seated in front of him, she tells him “I followed your advice; it was good advice, thank you”.
He clearly has no clue what she is talking about and when he catches his reflection in the widow, he cannot recognise his face! This helicopter pilot and Afghanistan vet who is so accustomed to dealing with pressurising situations becomes confused and agitated especially with Christina who continues to address him like he was someone else and obviously someone she is very familiar with! Colter remains puzzled and even aggressive for the next eight minutes until an explosion rips through the train and he wakes up strapped to a chair, unable to move in some sort of capsule.
The situation is set, but is the film dealing with time travel, entering dreams, mind control? Captain Stevens has no idea why he keeps waking up in the body of another man and gets more and more agitated with his memory lapses. Fortunately, he is able to get some answers from Air Force Capt. Colleen Goodwin played by the wonderful Vera Farmiga who explains to him though a video that he is inside the Source Code, a programme which enables one to enter an alternate reality that allows the mind to get into the body of a person who has just eight minutes to live, this time Sean Fentress, a teacher and colleague to Christina.
After Colter/ Fentress is blown to bits in the train explosion, he is ruthlessly quizzed for details by Goodwin who evades answering his questions.
Colter has no recollection signing up to take part in the Source Code mission and his last vivid memory is of him flying a helicopter in Afghanistan.
