Source Code a much hyped film is once again a remix of quite a few films! "Avatar" ,:"Timeline"; and "De-Ja-Vu" being a few.The director once again has acheived the magical remix formula! Here our hero is a dead helcopter pilot whose brain is used to teleport his thoughts to another body ( I mean literally) a victim of a train disaster (effected by demented terrorist). Here as usual a very hush hush agency of the U.S govt discovers a remarkable method to tele port our hero into the body of the victim to discover 1) the explosive device, 2) the villain and 3) his future mega disaster plan to reduce Chicago to a rubble so that a new "NERO" vision future idealistic city to be built by the crazy demented villain. The film is a triangular cat and mouse game between the hero, the inventer of the source code and the villain. The hero a look good "hot" bodied individual (as my daughter puts it) and so does the heroine who falls for him instantly on a rebound. The goateed villain who walks with a limp and a walking support probably to denote a war hero? And the innocent looking sinister villain. All in all the viewer is mentally zipped and zapped between time zones but bodily kept glued to his seat. To the director's credit he has hardly used any graphics or gimmicks but has effectively potrayed his thoughts very well on celluloid. To sum it all "Adi Shankara" it appears wanted to experience marital bliss and so he left his body and teleported his soul into the body of a king who was in his death bed and ended up experiencing all the nuances of married life. The only glich in this methodology being his original body had to be guarded carefully till his soul returned to it. Any takers on a sequel "Source Code-2"! Thanx! for a couple of responses on my first take on "KHO". Do keep writing, HC
