Consider Duncan Jones’ swiftly paced sci-fi thriller a “Groundhog Day” for a post- 9/11 world. Gone are the laughs that come from a flawed hero having to repeat the day till he gets it right.

Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) is part of a clandestine operation that puts him on a doomed train right before it explodes in order to figure out who among the strangers is the terrorist. Michelle Monaghan plays the woman who has more and more meaning for him each time he has to repeat the assignment.
