Writer/director Rian Johnson works with a bigger palate on his third feature film, the sci-fi thriller Looper. Casting Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a young Bruce Willis is a little distracting at times, due to bizarre looking contact lenses & make-up but as the film progresses you forget due to the fascinating story unfolding before you. Nerds will piss & moan about the time-travelling plotholes but that's missing the point of the film. It's not about time-travelling...it's about choices & consequences. It may not be a perfect film but certainly a damned fine entertaining one.

Yay! Go May movie alumnus! Rian was one of the editors on the film.
ReplyDeleteActually didn't know he directed this till I looked at your nut. I'll have to watch this now. I never saw Brick either.
You can actually find his first (short) film on YouTube. It's called Evil Demon Golfball From Hell.
:D I only recently found out he edited May.
ReplyDeleteIt gave me movie nerd jollies.
Haven't seen his short. I'll go check it out. Thanks. :)
