"Time travel has not yet been invented. But thirty years from now, it will have been."

Following in the footsteps of Source Code and The Adjustment Bureau, 2012's Looper is a science fiction film with welcome intelligence and originality, more concerned with conceptual innovation and clean storytelling than CGI or action overload. With Rian Johnson (Brick) behind the film, this is e... read more

Writer/Director Rian Johnston, in 2005, delivered one of my top ten favourite films of all time, Brick. (I haven't watched his second film, Brothers Bloom, yet, but I have read nothing but excellent things.) In his third feature film, Looper, we follow an assassin who is in charge of killing senior citizens, sent 30 years to the past, to collect their life insurance. Why? Simple, this is No Countr... read more

" Bruce Willis chooses the best movies. I've come to the conclusion that I don't so much love him as an actor as I love the films he chooses to be a part of. He's always in some crazy sci-fi or over-the-top action film. Those happen to be my favorites, so here we are. I loved Looper. I thought it was cool. I thought Joseph Gordon played an excellent young Bruce Willis and I'm glad they took it as far as using prosthetics to make them look more similar. Attention to detail is always welcome"
