Looper

Looper is…bizarre…is it a parody or a distorted tribute of many many films? The amalgamation is not so intriguing and attention grabbing but more confusing and baffling.  Watch out for nods to Die Hard, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and X-Men.  One is an extremely blatant “Yippee Ki-yay Mother F***ers”!  There are also some amazing nods to old martial art films where the only acting done between bouts is purely done with eye expressions.

The story itself is not hard to follow no matter what you are told, for a “time-travel” film it is quite spoon-fed but the actual point of it is what is hard to follow.  It's a film of two very different halves one of time travel and one about mutants.  Or may be it is a very drawn out advert for the booty frog? Every woman should have one! 

Perhaps am getting old but this film shouldn’t be a 15, it leads me to thinking that the only way a film is rated an 18 nowadays is if it actual has a fully excited full frontal of a man!  That was the only thing that was missing from this film… quite surprising as they managed to cram everything else in, whilst at the same time making it have a drawn out feel.  Although during the slower sections you have time to wonder about Joseph Gorden-Levitt and how much they managed to change him.  Your sat there thinking your not Tommy…bring back Tommy, but at the same time his nose is just so intriguing you cannot look at anything else.  Is it plasticine? Is it make up? Is it CGI?  Whatever it is it looks as out of place on his face as his blue eyes.  However if you don’t think of Tommy they’ve done an amazing job of making him a young Bruce Willis, with the obligatory montage in case you haven’t actually quite got that connection.

To be honest the second half is the best half, as the cutest most terrifying kid is the star, Cid, who definitely has a serious acting career ahead of him as he was amazing.

Anyway to sum this film up: lots of laughs and lots of what the f**ks!
