Looper Official Trailer [HD]: Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Bruce Willis Star As Joe - YouTube

uh yeah it's pretty good

i'd give it 7-8/10

depending on what you're looking for


they kinda cheaped out on the set, just making current cars look old and used with electric mod to where the gas is.

lol bruce willis wife yum

haha i liked the old western guns they had

[murd0c]

saw it last week and its a decent movie for what it is. They could of done a whole lot more with the subject but once it was done and over you couldn't help but think how the future would be changed since the rainman should hopefully be different and save him since he will know who it is. I just think they should of made it dark killed him and just drove off into the sunet.

[LC21]

movie was meh...

[waddy41]

just the opposite of what i expected...and i thoroughly enjoyed it..

[guddagudd]

it was pretty good, the telekinesis part wasn't necessary at all

IMO a lot of movies are moving towards an ending that isn't 'perfect' nowadays .. that leave the viewer to draw their own conclusions. Inception was like that, almost any movie that requires you to think does that. I don't know if I like that or don't.

Although the rainman was different, he (looper) still killed himself. At the point which he killed himself, only the future him was there with him; There was no 'past him' with him. Had the 'past' him been there, the 'past' him could still live his life. If that makes sense. .


I know what you're trying to get at. Think about it in the context of the looper, and his future self being present. If his futureself had died, he could still live out his life. Same thing here, since no past-self was present his death meant total death. That's my take on it

What pissed me off is how the rainman didn't just let his mom down :okay: I guess it would've made the ending way too simple.

[Lomac]

You kidding? The kid's telekinesis is what allowed him to become the (future) mob boss in such a short period of time.

[BrRsn]

^ agreed thats like saying harry potter was good but him being a wizard was unnecessary :fuckthatshit:

[guddagudd]

30 years isn't really that "short" of a period. There were other ways of letting the kid becoming the mob boss without telekinesis. The movie threw in the aspect of telekinesis when it doesn't really have anything to do with looping, and closing loops. Sure, giving the kid such a huge power can give the story a quick explanation, but it was kind of lame.

[waddy41]

i'd like to know why the rainman wants to close all the loops....then who would do the killing?

[knight604]

It was a good movie

[!Nhan]

i dunno why but the movie didn't seem THAT good to me..

[ApePee2]

i agree,

the movie was a bit slow in some parts

[LiquidTurbo]

Overated movie. Some plot holes

why not just send people to other loopers than than yourself to be killed? no possibility to let your loop run

[yellowpower]

Wow I loved this movie. Joe in China bout dat life doe

maybe cause the looper needs to get his payment first? and i guess you could say that they could zap the money separately but maybe it's prohibitively expensive to suddenly double the amount of time travel.

ps
i liked the miata lol

if they zap the bodies to the furnace, no one would have to know, and the mobsters in the future wouldn't have to pay anyone.

[LancerBoy]

Started off good. Went downhill after mid section.

Could have been much better, with an epic ending.

[strykn]

Pretty sure they kill them in the past so in the future, all traces of them just "vanish" , everything about the person just gone like they didn't exist

pretty sick movie

[fishCak3s]

ending was predictable
drags on at times

[ChaKo]

if that were true, then the loopers that closed their own loops would cease to exist as well

[waddy41]

No, I think the looper will live for another 30 years and then be killed by past self

[BrRsn]

if that were true, then the loopers that closed their own loops would cease to exist as well

If you kill your future self, you haven't harmed yourself in the present. If you harm your current/past self it'll harm you and the future self. Remember the scene where he's carving stuff into his arm? Or remember the scene near the beginning where his fellow looper friend doesn't close his loop, and his loop runs, and how they catch him?

I'm not sure where you're going with this, but I hope you realize that you are really just reiterating my point.

[TRDood]

Just came back from the movie. Mind fuck..

lol @ frog booty call. Called it when she was touching her thighs. Too bad she didn't get nekkid.

lol

[Isaiah11]

sigh, shoulda watched Cloud Atlas instead

[Soundy]

Watched it tonight at the cheap theater. Loved it. Very well done, great twist ending.

As to why they have loopers off themselves to close their loop, I believe they covered that:
Joe mentions right off that it's not really a career for the "forward thinking individuals" - they know when they off themselves, they get a huge payout and get to live the next 30 years in ballin' fun. Really, "kill tweakers from the future" isn't much of a sales pitch on its own, but knowing that at some point you get bought out and get to spend the rest of your life partying it up is a major perk.

[StylinRed]

Looper 6/10 ~ wasn't horrible, kind of silly especially the target; JGL did a good job acting like Bruce Willis with the facial expressions and mannerisms; could have been a lot better imo

[corollagtSr5]

i'd like to know why the rainman wants to close all the loops....then who would do the killing?

Because when he was a child bruce willis the looper shot and killed the mother and like peter parker with great power comes great responsibility. He vowed to himself when he grew up to kill all loopers. Remember how joseph gordon levitt (young bruce willis) had that epiphany? How the boy was on a train all by himself. Probably growing up as a hater? The timeline all changed when old bruce willis came back making the new time all plausable. What old bruce willis didnt know, was why the rainman was doing what he was doing. It was because of him. joseph gordon levitt Changed all of this by commiting suicide.

Btw saying there is a "twist ending" is a major spoiler. Of any movie.

[StylinRed]

^^^ well you'll be glad to know there was no twist (dunno what soundys talkin about)

This is what makes no sense. I think it's a giant plot hole and ruins the movie for me.

The events that happened after Joseph Gordon Levitt didn't kill Bruce Willis never happened in young Bruce's timeline because young Bruce killed his older self right away. Then he went to China and met the chick, etc.

They implied that that the kid became the rainmaker when he saw his mom die but the ending of the movie never happened in the 1st timeline, when Bruce was young. The kid still become the rainmaker.

The best counter I can think of is the butterfly effect LOL Watch it, if you don't know what i mean. She was destined to die by a looper so the rainmaker would have a personal vendetta towards loopers.

"Then I saw it, I saw a mom who would die for her son, a man who would kill for his wife, a boy, angry & alone, laid out in front of him the bad path. I saw it & the path was a circle, round & round. So I changed it."

That quote is vital... and really, that plot hole is an inevitability... You're not meant to believe that an old joe killed rainmakerI, so it's never shown and we're left to assume the RainmakerI's motivations are that he holds a grudge against loopers somehow, hence he's killing them off. The key element of the film, and what your biggest takeaway should be is that Young Joe recognizes that a horrible loop is about to occur when Old Joe kills Sara... It's not about what created Rainmaker I, but what will create Rainmaker II. Our hero is Young Joe II, the anti-hero Old Joe and the villain- Rainmaker.

[corollagtSr5]

The ultimate twist would have been old Joe coming back from the future and knocking up someone, and their kid was the rainmaker. LOL Terminator styles.

[Culverin]

so if the rainmaker is in the future cleaning up the streets offing off all the old crime bosses, why would he have all the loopers close their loops one by one?

[ApePee2]

^ here's what the writer/director said

5. Knowing a looper killed his mother, is the Rainmaker closing all these loops for revenge?

“Or is he doing it because he’s come to power and he’s wiping everything out? It’s a good question.” says Johnson, suggesting there’s really no answer.

If taking the eye drop drugs makes me Bruce Willis, I don't see anything bad about that.
