Review of Looper (2012) by Edward B — 29 Aug 2014
Rian Johnson's Looper is astonishing. It creates a unique time travel scenario, and is mostly consistent with the rules it lays out for itself. The action is great; the suspense is gripping, and all the actors do amazing jobs at playing lonely, grief-stricken characters.
One of the most interesting aspects of this movie is how it questions notions of predestination and fate. Can someone really be held countable for crimes they have not yet committed, or could they become different people given a change of circumstance? Looper isn't shy about getting you to think.
It's primed to blow your mind visually and logically.
