Review of Looper (2012) by Thomas P — 10 Jan 2015
Looper - 4 of 5. The nuanced filmaking, the great acting, the familiar mixed w the futuristic, this action adventure will draw you in and take you for a great ride!!
*This has it all. Period.*.
1.I loved that it kept giving only pieces to the puzzle - you HAD to keep watching to see what wud happen next. Played its cards with sheer precision.
Thank you good film making. Finally!!!
Brilliant.
2.The small twists and overall nuanced perspective gave it a glorious freshness.
3.That little kid was phenomenal - his first scene was jaw droppingly mesmerizing, who IS that kid??!!
And by the time you have the end figured out, it doesn't matter - bc you enjoyed the journey so much.
4. I hated the eyebrows - too dark & thats all I saw in certain scenes..lol.
But he did a great job becoming Bruce Willis - only a few scenes he didn't quite have the confident, solid walk or the focused, efficient body language of willis.
5.Story, effects, acting:
Solid A.
Child actor:
A+++ Brilliant!!
6.The whole walk-down-the-stairs scene -.
Simple & yet mind blowing..
7.Jeff Daniels as a mob boss - wow. So great!
That stunned me.
8. Downside - hello? 10 mins total of Bruce - whaaaa??
Small price for a great movie.
9. So, "12 Monkeys" sets off a bomb on the set of "Signs", and the glorious fireworks ensue.
10. Absolutely, Stunningly Solid.
Beware of language, f bombs, a female stripper's nudity, and tons of gun violence.
