Both Sara and I are excited about Looper, which feels like it just might be the first decent and somewhat original science fiction movie about time travel to come out in a while.
In the futuristic action thriller “Looper,” time travel will be invented — but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a “looper” — a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) — is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,” sending back Joe’s future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination.
