Where do I begin?
Looper is a very great movie however I do still feel slightly confused about the time travel concept. Everything is explained in the movie so if you watch it you may most likely understand. The main things I liked about the movie was the concept itself and towards the end,for me, it became really heartbreaking when you see what Bruce Willis's character does. It was action packed with a lot of blood and shooting but tells a deeper story of how having love in your life can change your entire destiny.
The movie starts of with young Joe(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) doing his job which is shooting people from the future and he gets paid from the silver they have on their back. Eventually his future self arrives but instead of shooting him he's in awe and his future self( portrayed by Bruce Willis) beats him up and gets away. This is a huge problem because if it is found out you let a future person go you can be killed. His future self later on in the movie tells him of a man named "Rainman" and he is furious at him because he killed his wife. The "Rainman" a the present day is only ten years old and with a medical code he got from the future he finds that one of three kids could be him. When the Looper police catch the two Joe's down at a diner young Joe has one of the addresses's and future Joe has two. I do not want to give away the ending but the Rainman is found and that's all I can say.
Verdict: If you want an action packed sci-fi movie with deep undertones check this out. Also Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Emily Blunt's performances are amazing. If you love those two as actors check this out. In general I think everyone can enjoy this movie even if you're not into sci-fi.
