Enjoyable blockbuster science-fiction movie

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2012)

-SPOILERS!- I got chance to see this movie before it's release here at Finland, and I after having to suffer Taken 2 on the same week, Looper was highly enjoyable.
Now I am not saying that Looper wouldn't be good if you have still bad taste in your mouth from last movie you saw on theater, but so far as I have seen Avengers, In time, Cabin in the woods, and other fictive movies of 2012, some of them more or less disappointing, some of them actually good, Looper clearly takes the lead as best fictive movie of 2012.
Looper is smart science fiction movie, a good example of what should be more. Looper doesn't go overboard like Inseption, it doesn't try to be more than it is. It uses theme of time traveling well, making it really interesting, leaving many possibilities open, some questions behind. It is smart, however, if you start to think few things in the movie with logic, some of the scifi stuff may feel like huge cliché, but I think after seeing movies like Transformers and In time, those clichés are minor.
Looper also has nice old noir gangster feel to it, that mixes nicely with the scifi parts of it. At times, I bet that there are stories behind characters, maybe caused by a lot further messing with time that haven't been explained, especially at the very end of the movie.
As for actors, we have good old Bruce Willis with his known gritty look on his face, with well chosen Joseph Gordon-levitt who actually looks like, acts like and feels like lot younger versio of Bruce Willis. Hell, at times, I bet Jopesh even spent daily hour or two in front of mirror, trying to imitate that gritty look of Bruce Willis, succeeding.
Highly recommend.
