Over the weekend we went and checked out the movie Looper, starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I wasn’t really sure what to expect since I hadn’t really paid attention to the trailer. I knew it was a sci-fi type movie with time travel that focused on people killing other people sent back in time. Levitt plays a Looper whose future self is sent back to be killed (Willis). The movie starts off pretty quick with the killing and doesn’t really ever stop. Although it’s not a necessarily gory movie there are a lot of people getting killed, mainly to setup the darkness and grittiness of the future. The movie did seem to drag on at times and there were some confusing parts that I had to put some thought into and figure out what was going on, plus there was one major topic in the movie that seemed out of place till it was approached again near the end of the movie. The story was good but it’s hard to cheer on the protagonist. If you are a fan of dark sci-fi with a side of action this movie will do it for you.
