Watched Looper finally.

Good film, but was a bit disappointed. I had heard so many "woah, this film is amazing" hype that I was really expecting something a bit deeper or more interesting, either intellectually or emotionally. The first half was really good though and set up a great premise, and in the second half it was nice to see Bruce Willis covered in blood mowing down scores of henchmen with two machine guns, a direction I didn't think the film would go to. All the actors are good and it's well directed, but the set up seemed to have grander implications than just a bunch of people running around a farm with shotguns in the end. It does make for some decent post-movie discussion, so that's a good sign. I think I was just expecting something more than being mildly above average. But enjoyable nonetheless.
