Bruce Willis saves the world BEFORE he was Bruce Willis

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2012)

I am sorry to be so cynical about this film, because it was well done and well played, but in the end it was just two hours of touchy feely and not much of it made any consistent sense.
We enter this world of killers that are paid to kill people sent from the future. You see, you can't kill someone in the future, it's too easy to track. These killers are well paid until they have to "close the loop", kill their older selves, that is. One of these killers voluntarily goes to the past because the bad guys killed his wife. And we have gone full circle. If it's so difficult to kill people, why did they kill his wife? Then the whole film is about younger self tracking older self, which makes no sense at all, unless younger self would still do all the wrong choices older self did in order for him to exist.
Bottom line: a well done movie, but a flawed one. The feel of it is gritty and shows a sort of desperation in the future, something that is great to behold. However the premise is crap and it doesn't get any better from there. Close-ups of Emily Blunt and Piper Perabo in her undies didn't save the film either, nor did the small child that was possibly the best actor of them all. In the end, the film can only be average, even if it is not the average type of movie.
