Thrown for a Looper: A Review
Image Source: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/09/06/looper-review
In this sci-fi/action hybrid, time travel exists, but it is illegal. Used mainly by the mob, it is the clean way to erase someone from existence. The set-up is a looper –a hired gunman, like Joe –is waiting to get rid of whoever is sent. Joe is living the high –life as a looper until he receives his termination of services from the mob—he’s sent his future self for assassination.
This film is an enthralling movie going experience that has a plot packed full of action thrills, an amazing lineup of award winning cast members, and a perfect medley of themes to keep an audience interested. But despite all the engaging and enthralling elements, I found Joseph Gordon Levitt’s makeup, to look like a young Bruce Willis, to be incredibly distracting and reminiscent of a wax figure. In all other respects, this was an absolute success of a film.
I think that it is a movie worth seeing, and perhaps, watching again, so that you can concentrate less on Levitt’s face and more on the plot.
4 out of 5 stars

I’ve been meaning to see this movie, can’t wait to find a good version to download! Thanks for the review.
I loved the film and would have to agree with you on the wax figure look. That was my only problem.
Awesome Review!
Long time I do not see Bruce Willis acting! Good review!
As a wax figures afficianado, I’m looking forward to see the waxy part.
Neat. Have you seen The One? Action flick with Jet Lee who fights himself in parallel universes. You might like it!
