Leave your thoughts about Looper.
| Daily StarAndy LeaThe smartest, most stylish and most outright entertaining science-fiction film of the year. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesAn endlessly creative mind-blowing film that captures everything right about the movie going experience. Johnson conjures up the most imaginative action/science fiction film since 'Inception.' |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerNothing less than an exceptionally satisfying piece of futuristic ingenuity with a great corps of actors. It will knock you out -- in any time zone. |
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. Ranson... re-establishes the (time travel) genre in a new and fresh way. And seriously, how cool is it to have an actual blunderbus for an assassin's weapon? |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasethis is nothing less than a consideration of how at every moment, every person on the planet is making one of an infinite number of choices that will lead to an infinite number of possibilities. It's enough to make the head spin. And it does. Sublimely. |
| NerdistLuke Y. ThompsonAwards talk is way premature. But giving a solid, mostly original genre entry its due praise is not. |
| Radio TimesDamon WiseAn ingenious, witty film that simply brims with ideas and energy. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeLooper does a better job of making sense of the nonsensical than any time-travel film since Shane Carruth's undervalued Primer. |
| Florida Times-UnionMatt SoergelMind-bending science-fiction and proud of it, not just a Western set in outer space or a monster movie set on an alien planet. It's worth seeing twice. |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottThe resulting slowdown, as well as a significant narrative shift, gives Looper a slightly sprawling and ungrounded feel at times, almost as if the first and second halves are two separate movies. |
