It’s Episode 125 Jonathon and James from Black Men Can’t Jump in Hollywood join Flixwatcher, this time with guest Corrina Antrobus (@CorrinaCorrina and @BechdelTestFest ) standing in for Helen to review Rian Johnson’s 2012 sci fi Looper.
Looper stars Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (with some weird things going on with his face to make him look like a younger Bruce Willis) at time-traveling hitmen. That is the basic premise anyway. Looper dazzled critics when it was released with its auteur turned blockbuster direction from Johnson (his debut was the neo-noir mystery Brick), mind-bending time travel concept and strong cast. However, six years after its release and as a repeat viewing it feels less special and possibly problematic (what is going on with Joesph Gordon-Levitt’s face?)
Scores
| Episode Crew Name | Recommendability Score | Repeat Viewing Score | Small Screen Score | Engagement Score | Overall Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| James | 3 | 1 | 4.2 | 2.5 | 2.675 |
| Jon | 4.5 | 3.5 | 4 | 4.7 | 4.175 |
| Corrina | 3 | 2.5 | 2 | 3 | 2.625 |
| Kobi | 3.7 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 3.425 |
| 3.55 | 2.25 | 3.55 | 3.55 | 3.22500 |
On reflection, once you start looking closely there are quite a few holes and this is reflected in the scores for repeat viewing and the overall score of 3.23 for Looper.
