Looper

From writer/director Rian Johnson comes Looper, a time traveling mind-trip that stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a young Bruce Willis.  Not much to say about it other than that I thought it was really slow in the middle and ended with a great 20 minutes.  Even though I have heard tons of very positive things about it, I found nothing spectacular about this movie.

I haven't seen Johnson's other films, Brick (2005) and The Brothers Bloom (2008), but have heard great things about both.  Brick also stars Joseph Gordon Levitt but doesn't, to the best of my knowledge, have anything to do with time travel or ridiculous-looking digital face alteration.

Bruce Willis gives an absolutely dreadful performance and I found myself extremely distracted by Levitt's Willisian special effects makeover.  It looked horrible.  I loved the little kid's role in the story - I must say that I didn't see that coming.  I suppose it was an interesting enough plot and recommend it to any fan of science fiction.
