Review: LOOPER
No spoilers…
These days it’s nigh-on impossible to go to the cinema without at least some awareness of what it is you’re about to sit down and experience. When it came to LOOPER, I did my utmost to achieve that.
It wasn’t easy.
After reading the first synopsis and then seeing the first trailer, I decided: no more. And OPERATION: AVOID ALL INFORMATION ABOUT LOOPER was in full effect.
So if, like me, you’re out to keep as much detail about this film out of and away from your film-going psyche before going to see it*, then this simplistic review is just for you.
Ready? Here we go -
What LOOPER is:
- A brilliant vision of the future
- A masterclass in character study and story-telling
- A modern classic that’ll be studied and revered for years to come
What LOOPER isn’t:
- The film you’re expecting
- An easy watch
- Predictable
———
To say anymore would be to ruin it beyond all recognition. Even if I told you what films it echoed, for me at least, I think that would take something away from it too.
Book your tickets.
See this film.
–Big love to Stella Artois and Little White Lies for organising last night’s preview–

I have a problem, with Looper. I liked the acting between the Joes (just made me realise, Willis is playing the “original” GI Joe), the action was glorious and bloody, but as a science fiction film it was completely broken. IGN has a quote from the director, saying, once you establish an internal logic you stick to it; the problem is, he doesn’t, he ends up making a complete nonsense of it all.
