Time travel was invented in the 2070’s and
immediately outlawed. Modern technology being what it is, disposing of dead
bodies from murders has become a difficult thing. So, a crime syndicate has
found a solution to that problem by sending their victims 30 years in the past
to be killed by men they call loopers. Once the time comes for the looper to
retire, he kills his future self to close the loop, so to speak. Joe is one of
those hired killers, and, when the time comes to kill his future self, the plan
goes awry. A massive chase ensues.
I must admit that I found it difficult to get
into this film at first. Science-fiction is not my favorite genre. But, by the
end, Looper pulled me in. I finally got it. The acting was very good on
everyone’s part. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was hard to recognize, as he was made to
look like a younger Bruce Willis. Very good makeup job.
The story of Looper is complex, with multiple
layers. I will make sure to watch at least a few more times down the line to
get a full measure of it.
