Re: Looper
Saw this with my free Picturehouse ticket.
Really enjoyed it. Really good performances from the whole cast.
Interesting spin on the time-travel story.
Good nonsense!
Bruce Willis is wearing well!!
8/10 from me.

Re: Looper
I still want to catch this film, but they don't seem to be in the cinemas for long, do they? Sometimes only a week, and then they're gone.

Re: Looper
Saw this last night, wasn't sure what all the praise was about for the first 45 minutes and then something happens and completely changed the film. Came out thinking its one of the best Sci-Fi films of recent years

Re: Looper
I saw this last night after an aborted H/R.
An absolute treat for time travel movie fans. Its really just like taking one of those marvellous classic sci-fi novels that you find in car boot sales for 20p which you read from cover to cover without pausing for even coffee... its just like putting one of those on the screen. Corker. So much to write about this movie, I am not even going to start, just beware its not really a matrix type movie in the action stakes - its more of a fast start but slow burner after that. It has far more actual depth then the Matrix movie, its a people movie rather than a pop one. PCX has its greatest strength, in that the film is rarely predictable.
just misses 10/10 for its several unresolved issues at the end and for its crappy straight-to-dvd type title.

Re: Looper
Really enjoyable film. Story was very interesting and did look lovely.
Actually thought that they made an excellent job at making Joseph Gordon-Levitt look like a young Willis!
And Willis can still kick @ss!
Good fun 7/10

Re: Looper
After 2 weeks of release I finally managed to catch this. Whilst it is enjoyable enough, it has no iconic moments or characters, and is rather forgettable. No spectacular action sequences, no great dialogue and no stand out performances. The time travel element is very casually explained, probably in an attempt to cover up all the plot holes. I wasn't too keen on the slow pacing in the second half and felt the ending is a cheat to the premise of the film and undercuts everything that preceded it. 6/10.

Re: Looper
Got to watch this last night and while there is a lot wrong with it i thoroughly enjoyed it! That kid was soo cute albeit a bit scary!! Ive always thought Joseph Gordon Levitt looks a bit like Heath Ledger, i could also see some of bruce willis's mannerisms in him! I played the Looper game and won some merchandise so its getting an extra point from me lol 8/10
Preferred cinemas: Any in Edinburgh!
