How did Peter Debruge rate the film Looper ?
" Todd McCarthy of " The Hollywood Reporter " gave the film a positive review , calling it " an engaging , neatly worked - out time - travel sci-fi thriller " , but also criticizing the effects involved in making Gordon - Levitt resemble Willis : " At first , the effect is a bit odd , and you ca n't quite put your finger on what 's off ; then it feels downright weird to be looking at a version of Gordon - Levitt who is no longer the actor you 've known for a few years now .
