Well this is one of those films. And I still have no idea howcome we decided to watch it, but we did. You might be wondering what film this is then, and here goes!
Looper (2012)
Anyway, I don't really think that JGL should be on the poster either, even though he gives a brilliant performance as usual. There's another actor and he really should have been nominated for an Oscar, I was really blown away. I'll be brutally honest, this film is quite far from Oscar quality but his performance really is. He's seven years old, seven! I really can't describe his perfomance, there's not enough superlatives for me to describe it. This little kids name is Pierce Gagnon. I really look forward to seeing him in many more films to come.
Well enough of the acting, even though that's probably the high point of the film for many people. It was for me to but, being a Sci-fi/time travel nutter, the story was really good. They missed a bit, they introduce a thing in the beginning of the film and it's like "Meh, why are they showing us this? Because they can?". This little thing however dissappears from the film completely until the very end, when it turns out that this is actually a very big part of the plot. The film would have benefited from a little bit more of that throughout the film. Apart from that and a sometimes randomly über-violent Bruce I think it's a film that is indeed worth a watch. I enjoyed it very much, Aim on the other hand wasn't quite as impressed, but you can't agree on everything.
Watch it if you're a Sci-fi/time travel nutter, you like Bruce/JGL or you would like to see a star performance by Pierce Gagnon.
