Surprisingly good

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2012)

No plot spoilers as such but some points discussed from the film.
I wasn't sure if this would be a good film or not. It turned out to be one the better films I have seen in the past year. Putting aside the complexities of time travel, I thought the story line was actually a pretty good one. Albeit very similar to Terminator. As another reviewer pointed out, I'm sure that time travel could have been used for a better purpose.
A fundamental flaw in the story line, from my perspective, was that the mafia could have just killed the intended target and sent them back in the machine to be disposed of in the past thus eradicating any margin for error but alas that would have meant that we had no storyline so I'll let it slide. Can anyone counter that argument, I may have missed why they couldn't do that?
Took me a while to get used to Gordon-Levitt's make up but then realized it was so he looked like a younger Willis. Fair enough. I'm not his biggest fan so making him look, unlike himself made this character more likable for me.
Think that Willis played a good role. The shot of him right after killing the past gang members, with blood on all over his face seemed to be in homage to his Die Hard days. He was pretty kick ass to be honest even after decades of drug abuse. Drugs of the future have no side effects it would seem.
I wish I had seen it in the cinema. I believe it to definitely be cinema worthy. I've rated this a 9 and I don't do that lightly.
