One of the most impressive films and casts of 2012.

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2012)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt further earns his growing reputation in this surprisingly touching sci-fi thriller. JGL receives jaw dropping support from Blunt and young Gagnon while Willis lurks in the shadows for most of it as a sturdy yet vulnerable nemesis. Some of the more predictable plot devices are forgivable as they're handled so skilfully.
This is a film with lots of action but the term action film doesn't do this justice as it manages to be heartfelt without crass sentimentality. What could've been a standard action movie turns out to be a nice character study of a person determined to not take the wrong path.
