A top secret government project can send Jake Gyllnenhaal's consciousness back in time, but only for 8 minute at a streach. He's sent back into the mind of a teacher on a commuter train that's about to blow up. They don't want him to stop the bombing, they don't think that he can, rather they want him to figure out who did it and report back. The plan is for him to live, die, repeat until the mission is accomplished.
Surprisingly effective premise, makes for good tension. Michelle Monaghan is the love interest, even though they just meet she repeatedly throws him for a (time) loop. Jeffrey Wright is the head of the project, Vera Farmiga is Gyllengaal's contact and chief allie. A satisfying thriller that becomes a feel good, sentimental romance. ***
