A couple of sites , Ain’t It Cool NewsandBadass Digest , grapple to attend .
Spoilers in front …
In Looper , Gordon - Levitt is a Looper , a hitman who kill people who have been sent back in time from the 2070s , so that they can be mutilate without any consequences ( legal or otherwise . ) Every Looper kills his own next self at some stage , because the future mafia want to traverse its tracks — but Gordon - Levitt fails to kill his own next self ( Willis ) and now there are two of him run around . Gordon - Levitt has to track down his future self before the brutal Gat Men , the enforcers in this whole schema , find him . The whole thing sound wild and intense , but also like a brilliant character report .
Intriguingly , Faraci intimate that there ’s more to this than meets the eye , and that the film contains a lot of reversal that wind up make you query who the real hero is , and what ’s really depart on . Most of all , he reaffirm our sense that Looper , whichjust got a big distribution dealand is slate for Fall 2012 — could be one of next year ’s most memorable flick .
Ai n’t It Cool News ’ Mr. Beaks contribute to our excitement , squall the cinema :
A crackerjack sci - fi / activity flick that recalls the genre - blend daring of the ’ 70s and ’ 80s . And it ’s not just a fourth dimension locomotion movie . Just when LOOPER seems to be settling into one type of film , it veers off in another charge , then settles down again , then goes dead bonkers without sacrificing clarity of story or theme . This is consummate filmmaking – a stirring reminder that genre entertainment can be both smart and approachable … LOOPER is an in an elaborate way structured story invigorate by Johnson ’s trademark wit and offend romanticism . It ’s an invigorating , thrilling , incessantly inventive film , a miracle in an era of by - citizens committee studio filmmaking . And while it ’s still months from being finished , bar any postproduction imp business , it ’s already a great movie .
