Spell-Binding!

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2012)

Rian Johnson's 'Looper' is Spell-Binding! A Marvellous Sci-Fi Action Flick, that is solidly backed with a fantastic script, proficient direction & note-worthy performances. A Big Winner!
'Looper' Synopsis: In 2074, when the mob wants to get rid of someone, the target is sent 30 years into the past, where a hired gun awaits. Someone like Joe, who one day learns the mob wants to 'close the loop' by transporting back Joe's future self.
'Looper' catches your attention from the word GO. The Screenplay Written masterfully by Johnson himself, is innovative, futuristic & nail-biting. The entire drama & action come together brilliantly & the overall execution, is simply flawless. Johnson's Direction, on the other-hand, is proficient. He deserves distinction marks as both, Writer & Director. Steve Yedlin's Cinematography is edgy. Bob Ducsay's Editing is sharp. Art Design is fabulous. Graphics & Make-Up deserve a special mention.
Performance-Wise: Bruce Willis & Joseph Gordon-Levitt, playing the same character, are terrific. Willis has emerged into a very fine actor & 'Looper' is a glowing example to that fact. Levitt, with impeccable Make-Up on, is heroic & very believable. Emily Blunt is very good. Paul Dano deserved some footage. Jeff Daniels is scene-stealing good. The Versatile Actor turns Super-Bad with effortless ease.
On the whole, 'Looper' is a Winner All The Way. Strongly Recommended!
