Looper



Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt
Director: Rian Johnson
Rating: ●●●●○

I approached this movie with bit of care... when was the last time I saw a movie worth watching staring Bruce Willis? Well, this surely is.
The story is too complicated to summarize here, without spoiling it. But let's say that it could vaguely remind of Terminator... people travelling back in time trying to change the future.
But Looper is much darker.
In this movie there is no hero, no hope, no one fighting for a good cause.
The story is set in 2044 when the world is in the hand of organised crime for which the main character, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (a younger De Niro look alike), works for as a killer. But the killer routine stops when Bruce Willis appears...

How much do you allow your past to destroy your future?

I don't want to disclose anything more... be prepared to be surprised.
I really suggest this one, though it is violent and dark... not your average Hollywood movie.
Mindblowing.

Worth mentioning the talented director Rian Johnson (Brick, Blood Brothers) who also wrote the movie, and Emily Blunt who diguises her SW London origins playing the American country woman.
