Review: Looper

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis star in this inspiring time travel movie about an organization of time travelers run by the mob called Loopers. It is the year 2042 and time travel is invented in 30 years. The mob sends people who they want to kill into the past and the Loopers kill them and dispose of the bodies. The main character, Joe sits in a field every day to kill someone when one day he sees himself in the future. His future self attacks him and reaps a world of chaos. On the outside Looper looks like an artistic action movie using time travel but this movie is much better. For starters this movie is nothing like it’s commercials. The trailer only tells half the story. Looper had great action, superb cinematography, and as far as I could tell it made sense. Even the make-up in this movie was great. They somehow made Joseph Gordon-Levitt actually look like a young Bruce Willis. The movie is filled with a cast of not well known but familiar actors and actresses such as Paul Dano who plays Loki in the Summer blockbuster “The Avengers,” and Piper Perabo of the USA television series “Covert Affairs.” For younger audiences this movie should be reviewed first. It has several nude scenes and uses a lot of language. Overall this movie looped its way to an 8/10
