British director Duncan Jones chose this Hollywood sci-fi thriller after his stunning debut. A government unit uses a war veteran in an experiment to gather information in a terror attack on a train. The story is rather far fetched where "Groundhog Day" meets "Minority Report" via some excursions but it works because Jones and writer Ben Ripley manage to keep the narrative coherent that could have been easily derailed by confusion. The talented cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Michele Monaghan, Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
