"Lincoln Lawyer" was a much better movie than the previews. AAMOF, I almost didn't go as the previews really cheapened it up. The story has been done an umpteen times before but it was interesting with a few twists. Reminded me of the Oldman-Bacon film, "Criminal Law" of '88. I'd give it 3 outta 5.
"Source Code" fell into the sci-fi, how do we make time travel different this time category. Poor Gylenhall got to be blown to smithereens every 8 minutes until he found a bomb and the person who planted it. He got good at it and found out the truth of why he was selected for this mission. Vera Farmiga did a nice job as a captain who was in charge of him. A few pleasant twists at the end. 2.5 outta 5 for being over-wrought.
