Kudos to writer/director Rian Johnson. I'll buy tickets for the first night of whatever his next movie is. Looper is a homerun.
I've wanted to see this movie ever since hearing about it a few months ago; the premise sounded intriguing and reminiscent of the type of story that Philip K Dick might have written. Usually when I go into a movie with heighten expectations I am invariably a bit disappointing, Not this time!
The concept, story and acting come together into a flawless whole. Gorden-Levitt and Willis somehow make you believe they are indeed the same person. Both are capable of great good and horrific actions. Emily Blunt is the flawed but loving mother we all wish we had; and the kid is...well, let;s just say that the character is full of surprises and the very young actor pulls it off.
Plan to see again.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, surprises you never see coming
