Average Movie

Rating: 5/10 (10 January 2013)

It looks awesome in the trailer, doesn't it? Well, I'm afraid to say that it wasn't that awesome, unfortunately.
"Looper", in a nutshell, is an adult version of "Back to the Future". Except in this movie, there's no Marty McFly and no great quotes that particularly stand out. Instead, we have the not so lovable, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who spends most of the movie trying to imitate Bruce Willis's facial expressions in order to make us, the audience, believe that he's the younger version of Bruce Willis. It wasn't convincing.
Bruce Willis wasn't that great, either. This movie is far from his best! If you're expecting to see a character like John McClane, you're going to be disappointed. In fact, the character he plays in this movie is nothing short of complete scumbag. You'll see why when you watch it.
Overall, it isn't a bad movie. The action is quite good and there's plenty of twists which keep it interesting. The script isn't exactly the best written script of all-time and the plot, at times, can be quite confusing. You're likely to encounter a lot of moments that will make you go "huh?".
Five out of ten.
