Saw it a couple of weeks ago...I went in with high expectations considering all the buzz and was slightly disappointed. While the initial storyline of assassins killing future targets in the present was a cool idea, I thought the movie really veered off track once it got off on the telekinesis subplot.
Gordon-Levitt and Willis both were solid in their roles and I thought Levitt really did a nice job with Willis's facial expressions and mannerisms. Had the movie just revolved around them and Levitt's struggle to "close his loop", I think it would have been much more entertaining.
Once Levitt make's it to the barn and the whole "Rainmaker" story kicks in, I thought the movie got slow and somewhat tedious to sit through. It picks up towards the end and the action in several parts was solid but I expected much more. Willis's timeline I thought could have also used a little more exploration instead of just the montage of years treatment it got.
Overall, thumbs up but slightly overrated. I would wait for DVD or bargain matinee on this one.
