For starters, normally a review on the movie passes my eye before I watch it. I watched Looper not knowing much about it but my eyes were glued right on the screen, palms sweaty, and heart beating. Throughout the movie you continue to ask yourself, “why is this happening?”
The actors were really deep and it was really easy to catch on to what was happening. The main point that should be made is that loopers are hit men who kill people from the future. Mob bosses send people they want dead from the future to the past were loopers take care of them. In some cases, you’ll have to kill your future self which is called, “closing your loop”.
The makeup artist of the movie hands down completely changed the lead role’s appearance to the point where I couldn’t figure out who he was. I cried when I found out it was Joseph Gordon-levitt, the same person who is going to be the new Robin in the Batman trilogy. Bruce Willis did an amazing job showing his dark side while accomplishing his mission from the future.
It’s a movie that will have you so excited yet nervous. I’m sure you’ll love the movie because of the choices made and the amazing ideas these characters come up with. Personally, I give it 8 out of 10 because with a movie like this, you’ll want more of it.
