Note To Self: Never Travel Back In Time To Myself!

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2012)

"Looper", written and directed by Rian Johnson is a theoretical view on time travel with an unusual purpose. The future is ruled by an evil force called "The Rainmaker" who heads a mob-like group of killers. However, they aren't doing the actual killing. When they want to "bump" somebody-off, they send them 30 years back in time to the year 2044 which is where the story begins in Kansas. The hit-men from the past doing the killings are called "loopers".
The film revolves around Looper "Joe", played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. A self-centered, wealthy young thirty-something whose wealth was created from his looping and who finds comfort in liquid drugs dropped into his eyes and a prostitute named "Suzie" (Piper Perabo) until he discovers more in life outside of his daily grind after coming into contact with his older self, played by Bruce Willis and finding the woman who "saves his life", "Sara" (Emily Blunt).
Loopers receive their jobs at an exact, sometimes approximate time in a specific secluded location where the person being killed is a man that is bound, hooded, and gagged. As soon as they appear out of thin air, the Looper shoots them dead, then turns their body over to receive their pay-out which is bars of silver tied to the victim's back.
Ultimately, every "looper" has his day, so-to-speak. When their bosses want to finish the jobs, they must do this be eliminating all evidence of the killings – which by-the-way are technically killings of people that don't currently exist since they were knocked-off 30 years ago. But, they do this by sending the Looper himself (if he's still alive) from 30 years into the future back in time to be killed by themselves. Once the looper assassinates himself, the reward is a huge payout with gold bars. They then have 30 years to live...MORE - http://hllywdjnkt.co/QtPtJM
