Member Rating:  
A hired gun from the future discovers that his greatest adversary is himself in this twisting sci-fi mindbender starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and directed by Rian Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom). In the year 2047 time travel has yet to be invented. Thirty years later, however, it has. Though immediately outlawed, time-travel technology is quickly appropriated by the mob, and used to cleanly dispose of anyone deemed a threat. The process is simple: When the mob wants someone to disappear, they simply send them back to the year 2047, where an assassin known as a "looper" quickly carries out the hit, and disposes of the body. Joe Simmons (Gordon-Levitt) is one of the most respected loopers around. Each kill earns him a big payday, and he's got big plans to retire to France. Then, one day, as Joe patiently awaits the appearance of his next target near the edge of a remote corn field, he's shocked to come face-to-face with his future self (Bruce Willis). When the younger Joe hesitates, the older Joe makes a daring escape. Now, in order to avoid the wrath of his underworld boss (Jeff Daniels), young Joe must "close the loop" and kill his older counterpart. Meanwhile, the revelation that a powerful crime boss in the future has set the underworld ablaze pits the two Joes on a violent collision course, with the fate of a devoted mother (Emily Blunt) and her young son hanging in the balance. Paul Dano and Piper Perabo co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

And why isn't Looper available for By Mail Rent? Time to quit this Deal. Guess Amazon on-demand is the winner now. Good Bye Blockbusted!! ==> I can't believe all the glorifying reviews on this seemingly promising plot just to be disappointed in the end. The time travel was cool. Special effects okay but the action wasn't really thrilling. Emily Blunt was stupendous I wish she was a Looper.

There are a few time travel movies that make some sense, but this is not one of them. Some flaws have been pointed out already but the whole idea behind the movie makes no sens. It does not make sense to send a guy back in time to get him killed by a assasin from the past. Send the body. It does not make sense to send the old assassin back to get him killed by the same (young) assassin. Same as above. It does not make sense to pay a lot of money to the assassin and expect he blows it right away. Not all killers are addicts. It does not make sense to buy a time machine for that purpose. A nice incinerator should be cheaper. The only reason I can see why this movie got more than a 1/2 star is: Bruce Willis is in it and he makes no bad movies.

With the exeption of the disappearing limbs on one character most of the time travel aspect is correct. After all one can't get to a place if one's missing his legs. Also eliminating the younger version of a person close to you will dangerously alter your own history. Anyways, the actors did decent jobs here. The kid was especially remarkable portraying his character without being self-conscious. The production rightfully opted for realistic effects over CGI. In some ways the story here scares me. China as the place everyone wants to be? It reflects the fears of our current culture.

    Not as good a your expectations perhaps, but this is an entertaining watch. There are no huge special effects and the budget is not as high as others. The acting is good and there is a focus on acting rather than just explosions. It is not as good as I would have liked, but it is still a solid movie to watch. I suggest just watching it and not get too hyped up. Also, better perhaps to watch on DVD than at the movies. A little disappointing for your dollar.

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt is playing in a lot of movies these days and this is one of his BEST. The Director-Writter Rian Johnson does an excellent job in getting the movie to the point without drawing in all the technology get in the way. The movie slows down and then speeds up. The movie just works. Bruce Willis plays the looper disposer of his future self. So "Joe" close the loop by killing his future "Joe". Jeff Daniels plays the underworld boss and pits the to Joe's against one another in a violent gun battle I did enjoy. I will be seeing this movie again, it is way above average. A must see for Sci-Fi fans and time-travel movie buffs. Action packed and IT will knock you out into any time zone. In my opinion B/BUSTER 'S GREGG C. HAS A MIND OF A CHIMPANZEE and that is the reason the time travel concept escapes his tiny brain. This is a 5 STAR MOVIE... Also GREGG you need to pay for watching the movie twice, mouth- breather...and this movie has been rated as a 4STAR movie by critics.
