Looper is surely an unique film like its trailer

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2012)

Looper turned to be one of the best sci-fi time-traveling flick on par with "Source code " , "Terminator". It had a well-structured story line and finest performances I've seen in the recent times. 2044 is the year when time traveling concept was discovered in which a target is sent back from the future by mob to get killed by hired gunman called Looper. Joe is one of the looper who discovers that mob wants to close the loop by sending back his own future. Directed by Rian Johnson ( Brick) , Looper is one of the difficult and challenging movie to make considering the complex story and genre of the film but hats off to Rian for directing it with aplomb. The movie begins with narration in the background by Joe (Joseph Gordon Lewitt) and runs at a snail-pace until the appearance of Bruce Willis(Old Joe). This point onwards , film gathers steam and gives an interesting plot with twists and turns. Interaction between Willis and Lewitt is the highlight of the film with both of them trying to kill each other. However , the film looses the steam and becomes bit tiring that you wish you could speed up the motion little bit. Thank god ... the climax has been wonderfully shot and gives you what-will-happen-next feeling. Screenplay is good not great .. editing should have been more crispy .. dialogues are punching .. art direction is OK where as Cinematography is eye- catching. Performances by Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt is brilliant. Levitt is getting better with each film.. I loved his make-up playing character of cool-lost-in-the-world Joe with honest and sincerity. Willis was awesome as usual. I wish he could have more screen space. Emily Blunt was decent.
Looper is surely a different film like its trailer. Little bit of more editing will make it more watchful. Good 3/5
