Review of Looper (2012) by Arslan K — 11 Aug 2016

I'll start off by saying I've seen a lot of movies in my day. Its so hard for a film to impress me anymore, especially a big action flick. I went into this film not knowing anything about it and not expecting much.

I thought it was a big Hollywood film, but turns out, I just now saw that it was put out by an indie film company. So, after the first 10 minutes, I knew this was something special. Its a futuristic sci fi film but its also very human.

Hmmm, what other film can I mention that has those same elements, Bladerunner. Looper is a great film and I hope it gets what it deserves, lots of accolades and awards. I don't think mainstream America will like this film.

I think most people will go into it thinking time travel, blood, and Bruce Willis, this is going to be an over the top Michael Bay type film. But, to their dismay, it actually has some real human elements to it and real relationships between people.

As critics have said, this is about the story, not the action. I give this 5 out of 5 stars, 99%, whatever, Its just a real winner. I want to see it again, and I haven't said that much lately.
