The Aon Center gets so much screen time it deserved a higher billing in the credits...

GalPal and I saw Source Code tonight and both recommend you go see it. Duncan Jones (the director of Moon and previously known as Zowie Bowie) takes the recipe for a summer thriller and turns it on its ear. It wasn't as flashy as, say, Inception, but I think it more effective on an emotional level. Definitely a good ride and a remarkable "big budget"-looking effort from Jones.


Also, the movie's set in Chicago and Jones shoots most of the aerial scenes of the city in a way that allows even this longtime resident to see his city through a new perspective. So that's a plus too.
