Looper - Realistic Time-Travel

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2013)

"It's 2044, and Joe(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is what is known as a Looper. Despite the fact time travel hasn't yet been invented yet 30 years in the future, it will be. In 2074, when the mob wants to get rid of someone, the target is sent 30 years into the past, where a hired gun awaits. Joe is one of these men.
"Taking out the future's garbage." That's how Joe describes his jobeliminating people who are sent back from the future. Erasing them from existence.
This job isn't an easy one, and although it comes with perks in the hard times Joe lives in, it really isn't worth it. He stands, he waits for his hooded target to drop on his knees on a tarp in the field. The second he appears, is the second that Joe pulls the trigger. He collects his silver, and disposes of the body. It's a violent life, that would harm anyone's mental healthwhich is easy to ignore when the streets are filled with homeless people and crime stalk the streets. Joe is in the comfort of his own home, rich as a kind, and high as a kite; drowning in his own sorrows.
When the mob decides a Loopers career is over, they'll send them a final target for execution. The Loopers future self. They call it "closing a loop." Naturally, some Loopers can't bring themselves to kill their future self. If they don't succeed in closing the loop, it is called an "open loop."...."to read the rest of this review, visit: http://www.screensyndrome.com/review-looper-2012/
