Rian Johnson is one of the signature filmmakers of his generation, and he has already established his reputation as a clever and original voice, while also paving the way for future successes. Johnson has worked on projects ranging wildly in budget, genre, and tone. Regardless of whether he’s working on an independent microbudget neo-noir or in the galaxy far, far away, Johnson possesses wit and knowing recognition of genre that makes his stories even more exciting.
The story centers around the con artist brothers Stephen and Bloom , who carry out an elaborate scheme to steal the fortune of the wealthy heiress Penelope Stamp , who ends up joining their crew. While their misadventures and elaborate heists are enjoyable, the film is kept afloat by the tumultuous family strife at the center, as Bloom desperately begs his brother to take anything seriously and give him a straightforward answer.
3. Star Wars: The Last Jedi Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the only follow-up to the original trilogy that truly engages with the thematic subtext of The Force in a compelling way. It’s a less plot-driven narrative than any other entry in the series, and while there are many thoughtful subplots within Johnson’s story, the dichotomy of Rey and Kylo Ren is most engaging with its theme of balance.
The themes of destiny, regret, and redemption are weighty and receive the frank discussions that Looper has, but on a visceral level, it's simply an exciting action movie. Joseph Gordon-Levitt takes on one of the darker roles of his entire career, and Bruce Willis actually seems awake and gives one of his few great performances of the 2010s. The manhunt element and mystery behind the identity of the “Rainmaker” is compelling and leads to ponderous moral dilemmas.
