re: Looper = Movie of the year

I think hindsight of Gladiator is very telling since no one had done a movie tackling that time period and story in 30 or so years, then after it came, it had such rousing success that several other movies likr "Troy" & "300" make that one look pedestrian to you now, JMHO

I went Fri night to see "End of Watch" (phenomenal) then "Looper" & I wasn't as overly impressed as I thought I'd be, 1st of all to toy with looping time travel etc like has been previously suggested in this thread, there are gaping holes. JGL is great, Willis is a little cold for the role honestly, but I think that is a proponent of us seeing Levitt who has a personality with his role, to the hardened criminal type role with Willis.

I am a fan of both actors IN THE RIGHT ROLE. The friend that set the whole story to tumbling (not sure what his name is, don't care) was a HORRIBLE actor, it was as if he thought he was acting in a lifetime movie SMDH

Thank you above poster for asking why wouldn't you prepare and bring the house and raise hell, you knew the exact day they were coming and it upset you enough to seek and destroy anyone responsible, and that is also the way the movie was sold in the previews, but in the actual movie the plot was already layed out & then navigated, so I had serious issue with the writing, directing was actually not bad.

All in all entertaining if you don't care about the overall plot, way more scifi than crime drama but it was ok
