A man no sooner wakes up beside a sleeping woman than a bunch of masked thugs breaks in and kills him. The man then wakes up beside the sleeping woman and again the thugs break in and kill him. And so on ...
Very pacy time looper with good, evenly spaced twists that keep the interest up. It is all fiction and not so much with the science, which is black-box nonsense. As usual there is the exposition scene, where the incredible complexity of the concept of time travel is delivered through ... a doodle made with a pencil and a piece of paper (well, not quite paper). Also it has several rabbit holes and implausibilities, but still the ride is entertaining, with plenty of blood and violence. But in the end it's not quite satisfying, and clearly sets up for endless iterations in a TV series (fingers crossed).
The performances are good. The actress is hard to judge, and there was one extended close up on her reactions that mixed the subtle and unsubtle. You judge. Best performance is the villain, whose part was well written compared to the fake romance of the two leads.
Didn't notice much about the sound. Cinematography was good, and the shifty (not shaky) cam was well judged.
Overall: fast and furious, but ultimately fluffy.
