A few things I loved about “Looper”:

• Awesomely mindbending sci-fi concept, smartly executed, sure to leave one formulating just how to ask all the questions generated by the old-self-meets-young-self storyline
• Appealing, sympathetic performances by Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who do kinda’ resemble each other
• Scene-stealing stuff from Jeff Daniels as a laidback, kinda’ funny guy, shaggy haired and endowed with a salt-and-pepper beard, who’s also a mighty fearsome mob type
• A knock-out turn by Pierce Gagnon as the scariest (and alternately cutest) maybe-evil little kid I’ve seen since Damien
• Strong supporting work by Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Piper Perabo
• Flying motorcycles

Nicely done, director Rian Johnson. This one has the potential to blow up big, I think
