When director Duncan Jones came onto the scene in 2009 with his indie hit Moon, people immediately began comparing its originality to 2001: A Space Odyssey and other Science fiction classics. The success was unexpected but well deserved. Moon was an original and suspenseful science fiction thriller about a clone who discovers who he is and breaks the chains that keep him in line. So naturally, after such a successful debut, people are going to be paying extra attention to the anticipated second film. Duncan Jones does not disappoint with Source Code.
Red is one of those rare action films that’s both entertaining and actually decent in the writing department. The plot revolves around a group of retired C.I.A. agents (played by an ensemble cast) who are forced to get back into the game when they find themselves to be the target of a conspiracy.
