LOOPER (2012) movie review


Looper (2012) (1st viewing) d. Johnson, Rian (USA)

An intriguing time travel flick that turns into an apocalyptic sci-fi nightmare about 2/3 of the way through…which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a shady assassin that gangsters of the future hire to kill and dispose of their enemies by zapping them back to the past, a career choice that takes a nasty turn when his future self (embodied by Bruce Willis) pops up in his sight on the appointed cornfield tarp.
