If you happened to see 2010’s “Prince of Persia,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal, go ahead and find somewhere that can cheaply erase your memory. That movie was really holding me back from going to see “Source Code,” but I really dig psych thrillers, so I decided to give it a shot.

I’ve always wanted to come to the end of a movie and be challenged. Maybe it’s my man DNA, which is encoded to conquer every situation, but I want to feel like I’ve accomplished something. Movies like “Fight Club,” “Inception” and “Se7en” are all in my list of favorite films; however, don’t try to leave the theater and attempt to figure out what just happened. I promise, your mind will feel like you just watched Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” video 16 times after not sleeping for three days.

The premise of the movie revolves around a question: If you knew you only had a minute left to live, what would you do? In fact, if you only had eight minutes to live, what would you do?

Gyllenhaal stars as Colter Stevens, a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army that awakens to find he’s inside of what appears to be some type of experimental cell. Stevens comes to find out that he is living out the last eight minutes of a dead man’s life. The plot reminds me of those “who done it?” books.

Stevens is aboard a train trying to find the terrorist that has planted explosives that sends everyone riding to their demise, and essentially foil the terrorist’s grand scheme of sending Chicago crumbling to its knees. Stevens is informed by Capt. Colleen Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) that he is a part of the Source Code Project. At this point, there is a major plot twist.

This movie has more plot twists than the number of times Tiger Woods has smiled at the subtle irony of ZZ Top’s “La Grange.” I won’t delve any more into the plot, though. I think it’s very hard to explain how insane this movie is without you actually seeing it.

For a lot of guys, the trials and tribulations of a father-son relationship are the closest thing we’ll get to having wet eyes when we leave the theater. This movie definitely plays on those emotions. It’s not the greatest, most epic movie ever made, but it’s definitely like a movie version of Jamba Juice-suspense, action, romance and drama all blended into one movie.

The movie scored an 89 percent on rottentomatoes.com, and I recommend this film to anyone that is a fan of “Inception,” “The Twilight Zone” or the psych thriller genre.
