Ultra-seasoned sci-fi that turns into a turmoil of reflections... [Full review in Spanish]

| Feb 7, 2023

An inventive, mid-budget sci-fi thriller that laid the groundwork for Johnson's mainstream success...

| Oct 5, 2022

Looper never focuses too much on sci-fi because the film keeps our attention on the old-school action-thriller taking place on the screen.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 28, 2022

It’s cerebral yet filled with substantial dramatic pull, exploring both brainy scientific theory and multidimensional characters with equal levels of inspection and inventiveness.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 23, 2022

“Looper” takes the familiar device of time travel to new places through a brilliantly original concept.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 23, 2022

... the smartest science fiction thriller of 2012.

| Jul 9, 2022

another feather in the cap of a writer/director who knows how to play with expectations, how to set up details without heavy obviousness, and to lead with emotion in order to invest his audience.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 17, 2022

[A] compellingly original sci-fi starring.

| Sep 17, 2021

Looper joined Moon, Inception, Interstellar and Source Code in proving that the thinking-person's sci-fi, last truly prominent in the 1970s, came back with a vengeance during the past decade.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 13, 2021

The action, drama, suspense, and performances are all entertaining, but at the end, it's impossible not to come back to the faults in the film's time travel foundation.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 2, 2020

Easily One of 2012's Best Sci-Fi Flicks.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 14, 2020

Fantastic performances, big ideas, and the ability to pull off a slick narrative juggling act.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 11, 2020

This is the kind of science fiction that can be seen multiple times. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 25, 2020

If you pick too much around the edges of LOOPER, it will inevitably fray slightly, as do many intricate time travel yarns. However, LOOPER is a layered and intelligent neo-noir science fiction with some striking images and emotional resonance.

| Feb 13, 2020

Complex, entertaining yet brimming with intelligence, Looper needs to be watched - easily one of the smartest films this year.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 26, 2019

Rian Johnson, director of Brick and The Brothers Bloom, has bit off a big honkin' chunk of sci-fi mythology with Looper.

| Jul 29, 2019

A mind-bending bit of science-fiction entertainment -- a trippy piece of cinema with an equal mix of style and substance.

| Apr 11, 2019

A very original sci-film with a creative premise and story.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 2, 2019

Looper embraces the paradox that's required for the two-Joes story to even happen, knotting improbability, vengeance and the notion of choice into a taut, sleek, imperfect but intelligent action movie.
