RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

What did you all think about Source Code? I really liked it, and I felt like it cut to the chase pretty quick. Ending was great, close to the ending was sad, but I feel like the actual bomb threat on the train really didn't matter. I don't know, I never got connected to stopping the train from exploding... :/
