Looper - review.

Dizzying high-octane stuff... Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Looper.

Over the past couple years, many movie makers have tried to recreate the sensational Inception. There was a big hype about it when it was first released and not many films have successfully made a good sci-fi film. Now Looper is the closest thing to it. Joe (Gordon-Levitt) is a Looper, a hired assassin from 2044. A Looper's job is to dispose of anyone that the mob, from the further future, 2074 wants "gone". Joe's Loop spot is in a field where the victim is transported onto a tarpaulin and shot with a futuristic shotgun. Strapped to the corpse will be iron bars in which the Looper converts into money. Joe does this regularly, its his main source of income, until he has to kill himself. His next victim appears as an older man whom resembles himself. Its an older form of Joe, played by Bruce Willis. The film goes along nicely and stops for some down time at the residence of Sara (played by my new favorite Emily Blunt). Blunt is good as the angry and defensive mother. Unfortunately she loses this a bit towards the end but its made up for by good acting. The plot isn't as confusing as you'd think and gets enjoyable as the action is ramped up. 


4/5
