Looper
The downside to meeting your older self is the disappointment in discovering there's no cure for baldness and beer-guts in the future.
Thankfully, the button-man in this sci-fi thriller only has to worry about one of those afflictions.
Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a unique hit man known as a Looper who has been hired by criminals 30-years in the future to assassinate enemies they send back through time.
But when Joe's older self (Bruce Willis) comes back for disposing, his younger self is overpowered by him.
Loose in the past, future Joe attempts to assassinate the child of a single-mother (Emily Blunt) who grows up to be a kingpin.
An elegantly devised time travel tale with an abundance of action and a tender romance, Looper is an innovative take on the well-trodden sub-genre.
Incidentally, the upside to meeting your future self is the sudden expansion of wardrobe in your size. (Green Light)
