About this movie

In the year 2074, time travel will be invented - but will only be available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they send them back 30 years, where a "looper" -- an assassin, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) - is waiting to mop up. Joe's life is good... until the day the mob decides to send back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination. © 2012 Looper Distribution, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Great actors, interesting and unusual premis and good action scenes do not make a GOOD movie. Plot is week, to the point where the main character (Bruce W.) actually has a line to fix it all. He tell his younger self that the time travel paradox of altering the past / future is too complicated to understand. This was directed at the odience, telling us to stop asking any relevant questions regarding the holes in the plot. This is almost as bad as the facial prostetics on the young Bruce Willis. Avoid it!

What a stupid plot device to send people back 30 years in the past to appear at the exact time and place for someone to shoot them and dispose if the body. If you invented time travel, why not just send them back to before the earth existed, or appear in the middle if the planet 1 day ago. Stupid plot is just the beginning of this movies problems. The 1+ hours if babysitting is the other. This was teased as a chase movie, the chase lasted 10 minutes, the boredom lasted for an hour.

The most interesting part of this movie is, of course, time travel. Time travel implies all sorts of weirdness, but the most this movie makes of it is stealing Back to the Future's idea of a person literally disappearing from the present if their past is deleted. **SPOILERS BELOW!!** The ending doesn't make any sense either, there's obviously an implied "true love" thing going on between Blunt and Gorden-Levitt, but nothing in the entire film to suggest where that came from, aside from one (lame) sex scene and GL becoming slightly fond of the kid.
