Language: English
Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Pierce
Gagnon.
Story: this is a futuristic story set in 2044 and deals with
the future of time travel in the year 2074.
Joe is a hired killer or looper who kills people sent from
the future by the mafia, till they send his future self as a target to close
the loop and have him retire. There are some people in 2044 that are TK (telekinetic)
and can move objects without touching. Story is basically of Joe’s future
self returning and the chase that follows.
Needless to say that as in any sci-fi there are a lot
of assumptions to be made.
Screenplay and direction: sleek and entertaining
Performances: every single performance, even from the
support cast is very good with the exception of Emily blunt, I like her usually
but in this movie she was average. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is making some good career
decisions.
Interesting: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis who are
both playing the same character Joe from different time periods, are so
different that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is right handed while Bruce Willis is left
handed.
USP: original, entertaining, action sequences were good, interesting,
good performances, the violence is not too gross and I would call it well done.
Downside: climax is a bit of a disappointment. What could
have been great is only average. The movie lacks humor; Joe from the future is
a bit funny the other characters are very far from being funny or witty, but I think
that depends on personal taste.{spoiler alert} What I didn’t get was
if the disposal of bodies was the only reason people were sent back in time why
is it that 2074 mafia didn’t kill and then send the bodies why send them alive,
and why must a person close his own loop?!
Verdict: I was looking for entertainment and I found it. This
movie is interesting and fast paced. I say watch it. 7/10
