Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJake Gyllenhaal had an ear bud in during the train sequences, into which the director would start playing music at any point in time to help Gyllenhaal's character look disoriented . The director played random songs as well as "static buzz" at times.
- GoofsThe conductor always asks Colter for his ticket, but never asks Christina for hers. On Chicago commuter trains, conductors collect tickets as you are on the train, the seats even have clips to hold those tickets; Colter must have gotten on after Christina. The train interiors are not Chicago area trains.
- Quotes
Colter Stevens: Christina, what would you do if you knew you had less than one minute to live?
Christina Warren: I'd make those seconds count.
Colter Stevens: I'd kiss you again.
Christina Warren: Again?
[he kisses her]

Featured review
Excellent Thriller
I have to agree with the previous reviewer. This is the best thriller I've seen in years.
Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.
The writing is outstanding. All four principal actors do well and Gyllenhaal, especially, carries the plot forward extremely well.
At the start, I feared a stock, predictable Hollywood thriller. But soon I found myself en wrapped in Gyllenhaal's puzzle-within-a puzzle.
At the end, the Industry audience for this screening erupted in spontaneous applause.
Duncan Jones is definitely a young director to watch.
If you like thrillers, go see this film!
