At the start this reminded me a little of “Jumper” (2008) as it delivers a cleverly crafted idea of how murder might look in the 22nd century. It’s the ruthless “Joe” (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who is in the employ of the mob and is routinely and lucratively waiting for their troublemakers to be sent back a few decades in time so he can eliminate them and leave no modern day traces of the crime.

<em>'Looper'</em> is entertaining! I had a fun time with this one. I guess that would come as little surprise given I do like basically everyone onscreen from other flicks, while that is true that isn't the sole reason for my enjoyment. The story is intruiging and is presented nicely by the filmmakers, I found it to be well paced too. Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives a strong performance, even wit
**Half-baked and weak genre mix with a pale Bruce Willis** The main character is an anti-hero and isn't able to win the viewer over story emotionally - that would be OK if the story were at least coherent - but it isn't. The time travel logic doesn't work. The telekinesis nonsense seems incredibly pointless. The love story(s) is or are hardly comprehensible. And many plot elements are started w

Nor did director or producers choose a clear direction what this movie was supposed to be, what its pace and atmosphere should be like. So it turned out to be full of wasted potential. Good ideas, characters, situations, plot e
The plot is full of flaws. Quite like a even worse inception.
I am normally fairly hesitant concerning time-travel movies because it is next to impossible to get them right. They more or less always become very unrealistic and full of paradoxes. I would almost go as far as to say that producers making serious (non-comedy) time travel movies are the ones that are scientifically too stupid to realise that it is just going to be a mess, or they do not really ca
movie was a little slow and drawn out. action was ok but story was little weak.
