Spoiler Alert! Read with CAUTION
"The year is 2044 time machines haven't been invented yet, but thirty years from now they will have." The story follows Joe, played by JGL, who is an assassin(looper) hired by the mob. The mob itself is 30 years into the future where time travel exists but immediately made illegal and where bodies cannot easily be disposed of. The mob's targets are transported 30 years into the past where Loopers are there to kill them and dispose of them. Loopers sign a thirty year contract and when those thirty years are up their loop has to be closed. How do they close the loop? The person they will have to kill will be their future self, but they do get a huge lump sum of money for their service. Joe encounters a problem when his future self is sent to him and he escapes. Now he has to find his future self or else the mob will kill Joe(JGL).
Last Saturday I went to watch this movie with high expectations because I had heard and read so much about it and those expectations were surpassed. I've seen my fair share of movies about time travel and bleak future but this is by far one of the better ones. This movie star JGL, who in his short career has already been in a lot of great movies i.e. Inception, DKR, 500 days, Brick, 50/50, and The Lookout. Who knew that the weird kid with the long hair from 3rd rock would grow up to become a big movie star? Bruce Willis has been in many action movies so this was a good fit for him. I know it is all very confusing and my description probably confuses you even more but trust me if you watch it you'll understand it and you'll love it, just like I did.
- I give this movie 5/5
