314. Looper

314. (22 Dec) Looper (2012, Rian Johnson) 42



Who knew the future would be so dull? There should be more than a little fun to be had with the concept behind Looper, but self-seriousness and undercooked plotting prevent this from being entertaining. Initially too voiceover heavy (how exactly is this winning awards for screenwriting?), it's odd that even with a story that's seemingly reined in that this never becomes engaging. The makeup that allows Gordon-Levitt to look vaguely like Bruce Willis had no business making the Oscar shortlist.
