Looper


Movie: Looper
Genre: thriller
Synopsis: In 2074 time travel is used by organized crime to dispose of victims.  The victims are bound and hooded and transported back to 2044.  In 2044 they are greeted upon arrival by a Looper who immediately kills them with a blunderbuss. Loopers are employed by the gangsters for just this purpose.  Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a Looper.  One day when his next target shows up, it turns out to be himself (Old Joe, played by Bruce Willis) from 30 years in the future.  Old Joes manages to escape and is doing his best to change the future.  Pretty much everyone else is trying to kill both Joe and old Joe.

My two cents:  A really good movie.  You are better off not trying to make sense of all of the time travel issues/  If you can get past that, this movie has a lot going for it.  The ending certainly caught me by surprise.
