Ambitious but not entirely successful, “Looper” is much more than your standard science-fiction action flick. Writer/director Rian Johnson (“Brick”) has crafted a film less concerned with the mechanics of time travel than with the ramifications it has on its characters. It also has one of the boldest casting movies of the year, with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing the same man separated by 30 years in age.
