Intelligent, engaging thriller

Duncan Jones' 2009 debut feature, the glorious, engaging sci-fi thriller

Moon

, established the British director as a major voice in science fiction. Working with a small budget and only one flesh-and-blood actor (Sam Rockwell) and a big, clunky robot (voiced by Kevin Spacey), Jones created a thrilling adventure.

Jones' follow-up, the $35 million Source Code from Summit Entertainment (http://summit-ent.com/; $26.99 DVD; $30.49 Blu-ray), is bigger in every way: scope, special effects, and star power. Yet it is as fiercely intelligent as Moon.

The new pic is a trippy cross of Denzel Washington's Deja Vu and Bill Murray's Groundhog Day.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a soldier who signs up for an experimental procedure that enables him to go back and relive a stranger's life in eight-minute chunks. His mission: to find a terrorist's bomb on a commuter train. He returns again and again, all the while developing an intense relationship with fellow passenger Michelle Monaghan.

Winter in Wartime

. A terrific addition to the recent wave of WWII films from northern Europe, Dutch helmer Martin Koolhoven's drama from Sony stars Martijn Lakemeier as a teen who helps a downed British pilot (Jamie Campbell Bower) in a Nazi-occupied Dutch village.
