good effort, don't get too hyped up for it though

Rating: 6/10 (6 October 2012)

Looper is a stylish film with a solid cast and an interesting premise, it was entertaining but doesn't quite work, it delivered exactly what i thought it would so i'm not disappointed. It had some good action sequences however some of the action seemed a little ridiculous and ended up being unintentionly funny. There is some good humour in it though which i like it didn't take itself too seriously like say Inception which definitely worked in it's favour. Looper was visually impressive although that has come to be expected with this type of blockbuster flick in this day and age, it didn't fall short and not just the special effects I thought the costume design and sets and vision of the future world all looked great. In spite of all this it does fall short for me;it was a decent effort at the timetravel subgenre I have certainly seen worse but ultimately it wouldn't make my personal top 100. Looper has been Touted by the professional critics as the best thing since sliced bread, or Inception (the last Sci-Fi blockbuster critics had a raging erection for before having even seen the movie) well i prefer it to inception I was entertained and intrigued but left frustrated. don't expect watertight chronology or the film to add up in any way at all (why on earth would you? Is that even possible?).
