Topic: Looper (2012)

[samuelrichardscott]

Official synopsis:

Time travel will be invented, but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they send their target 30 years into the past, where a “looper”—a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt)—is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good. . . until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,” sending back Joe’s future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination. the film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels. Ram Bergman and James D. Stern produce.

Rian Johnson's new film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt. I loved Brick and the poster for this has just made me want Looper even more...

Wow, interesting concept. Will want to see how this turns out.

3 hours in make-up every day to get JGL to be a young Bruce. Damn.

Both Brick and Bloom had a very recognizable and unique style. This looks rather generic.

But at least it's a genre movie Johnson can get his teeth into and perhaps make it more interesting (although I like the look of it anyway). Brick was marvellous, but Bloom was weak and silly. Ambitious, with some good ideas, but poorly executed and terrible plotting.
