    surprised there wasn't already a thread about this movie. Really cool idea and done almost perfectly. The first 2/3's of the movie are incredible, after that it gets a little lost and overly sentimental, and the ending won't blow you away. But this is a really cool little sci-fi flick.

    How believable Levitt is as young Willis?

    He gets enough of Bruce's voice and mannerisms to be believable, but not distracting. The makeup/prosthetics aren't great, but it doesn't look so bad that it distracts from the story.

    Excellent, that was my one possible problem with the movie.. Otherwise, it looks pretty good(91% on rotten tomatoes).

    Does it focus on the time travel or is it mainly an action flick?

    It's a good mix of both, but there really isn't a lot of time traveling in the movie.

    I cant take Levvit seriously. He's always been kind of a backseat actor.

    Does he carries himself well on his own or does he depend on other characters as usual?

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a good actor. nothing more, nothing less. however it is a bit annoying how many people (particularly the under 30 crowd) are hyping this guy up to be the greatest young actor out there. he did a great job in 50/50 and has been solid in some roles, but for every good role he takes he then s the bed in other roles. his film selection is also very poor as well.

    Levitt falls into the Shia LaBeouf category for me ... just less bag

    Comparing Gordon-Levitt to La is a major insult.

    Mysterious Skin, Brick, The Lookout, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, 50/50, and now this...what does Shia have that can compare?

    Looper was a great movie! My wife and I loved it! It's definitely a movie that will keep you thinking! Willis was awesome as usual and Levitt was very believable as a young Willis! The acting was great, the script was great and that little kid stole the show! 9/10 for me.

    Movie was pretty cash. I didn't like the ending all that much, but it could have been worse.

    Just got done seeing this - really, really good movie. BR wrong as usual about actors. JGL has done a lot of really solid roles.

    it's pretty creepy, don't want you to have nightmares about a certain big bad injun in your closet i saidddd

    not corny or lame like the other "found footage" genre movies..definitely bizarre and disturbing to say the least.

    JGL hasn't proven himself to be anything more than a good supporting actor. Nolan guzzlers will say otherwise.

    JGL played supporting roles in Nolan movies, so why would anybody use them to show that he is a capable leading man?

    -SPOILERS-






    Was suicide really the best option? When Young Joe realized that a cycle of revenge would be created, I thought Old Joe would, too, but nope, Blunderbuss to the chest.

    I was thinking the same thing, but that's probably not as dramatic for an audience to see.

    My only problem was the cliche "precocious child with issues" storyline. I understand why it's in there but it made the 2nd half of the film less focused and a bit cheesy, especially the "it's okay, i love you" moment at the end.

    I was wondering why blowing his shooting fingers/hand off was not an option.

    That's what I was thinking, too.

    The movie is also one big causal loop, too. The Rainmaker was brought into existence because Old Joe was trying to eliminate him from existing.
