Review For Looper
Yes, it's a B movie sci-fi thriller, but not many prestige pictures have this much going on underneath the surface. Tom Charity-CNN.com That first hour cooks. And the second hour brings Emily Blunt into the story, which is a fine thing for any second half to offer. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune If the whole thing leaves you rubbing your temples, just a bit... well, this headache's sort of worth it. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The reasoning behind all this may not reward prolonged inspection, but Johnson is smart enough to press onward with his plot, leaving us with neither the time nor the desire to linger over the logic ... Anthony Lane-New Yorker Writer-director Rian Johnson establishes himself as an original talent who clearly believes storytelling must prevail. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com A mind-bending ride that is not afraid to slow down now and again, to explore themes of regret and redemption, solitude and sacrifice, love and loss. It's a movie worth seeing and, perhaps, going back to see again. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic [Looper] may be the best sci-fi thriller to hit the theaters since 1995's Twelve Monkeys. Michael Burgin-Paste Magazine Is it derivative? Not really; just a reminder that cinema, like history, is on a continuous loop, forever repeating itself. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix Despite its confusing logic and ornate storyline, Looper still grabs the audience with the raw emotional storyline on the farm and the constant popping back and forth in time. It's a head-scratching ride, but a fun one nonetheless. Matthew Odam-Austin American-Statesman Call it the coolest, most complex sci-fi of 2012 and the best movie of its kind since "Inception." Pow! What a ride! Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers Looper has its highs and lows, but it remains one of the more original sci-fi films to come out in some time. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered Joseph Gordon-Levitt continues to prove to be one of the best actors at selecting scripts. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine Accessible to a general audience while still having moments that will warm any film geek's heart, this is the kind of genre film that elevates the form. Jason Gorber-Twitch The movie is morally murky, to put it lightly, and that's a bit refreshing; we're made to think about why we want the protagonists to achieve their goals. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com Intelligent, extremely imaginative, visually stunning and constantly surprising, this is filmmaking of the highest order from Rian Johnson. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) Looper is among the cleverest, most skillfully crafted and entertaining sci-fi thrillers of the past 20 years. Jay Antani-Cinema Writer The smartest, most stylish and most outright entertaining science-fiction film of the year. Andy Lea-Daily Star A thought-provoking, heart-pounding take on the applications and ethics of time travel which, oddly enough, doubles up as a lesson in the importance of good parenting. -Film4 This is one of those rare genre movies (like the original TERMINATOR) that reminds us that Sci-Fi can be smart. It's much more than just a bunch of special effects and explosions. It's what all movies should aspire to be. Austin Kennedy-Film Geek Central While it sometimes feels like it's trying to do much, Looper manages to be a creditable and exciting sci-fi flick that homages the past while carving out a unique identity. Laurence Boyce-The Sabotage Times Much as he did in Brick, Johnson creates a carefully drawn world in Looper that exists by its own particular set of rules. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide ... has an irresistible energy and a don't-give-a-damn unpredictability ... Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Beautifully crafted, acted and written. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
