If they give away the ending, loop them.
We will not add to the information in the trailer, except to say that anyone who gives away the ending of Looper should be sent back in time to the moment before they opened their big mouth…and then crushed by a falling safe.
And to assure you that Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s prosthetics are only distracting for the first few scenes.
Rian Johnson’s science-fiction thriller is now among our top time travel movies, along with Back to the Future and Chris Marker’s La Jetee (and its descendants, Terminator and 12 Monkeys). We haven’t seen Primer.
Looper is clever and entertaining, a genre film done right. Okay the added zinger may be a bit much, but we did not expect the movie to be so affecting. Gordon-Levitt, Willis, Emily Blunt and the kid are excellent, and we like the ongoing Jeff Daniels renaissance.

You most definitely have to seek out Primer if you can source it. Upon first viewing in the theater, it left me feeling like a moron because of the myriad layers that the story covered. In fact I was so mad that it all flew over my head. Everything clicked when I checked it out again on one of my DVD rental viewings. It’s now one of my favorite films because it literally took some brain power to sort things out like puzzle pieces. It also helps that it’s a cult favorite with websites dedicated to analyzing the story for the confused.

I have a copy of Primer I got from youTube a few months back. But I don’t think that link to the full movie is still up though. Cool film.
