1. An electrifying time-travel thriller worthy of comparison to THE TERMINATOR.
2. Spectacular. Packed with intelligence and feeling. The year's most excitingly original movie.
3. The smartest movie of the year and the best action movie of the year.
4. A mishmash of futuristic conventions and clichés cobbled together as something we have never quite seen before.
5. A disappointment from an ingenious and intelligent filmmaker
6. An outlandish vision of the near-future which may defy credibility but is bracingly entertaining.
7. Looper is a classic piece of sci-fi cinema, riddled with brilliant ideas, a complex and satisfying narrative and, most importantly, a heartbeat.
8. There's a bit of Twelve Monkeys, more than a dash of Terminator 2.
9. Rian Johnson's 'Looper' is one of the year's best films... a huge jump forward for a filmmaker whose first two films both exhibited a strong, clear voice.
10. Nothing quite excites and disturbs us as the prospect of time travel. Looper exploits that tension for all its worth.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?
As thought-provoking as it is thrilling, Looper delivers an uncommonly smart, bravely original blend of futuristic sci-fi and good old-fashioned action.
