Looper

Writer and director Rian Johnson's third feature explores time travel with this Sci-Fi action thriller. Set in a dystopian future where time travel is used for criminal activities, an older assassin returns to his past where he's hunted by his younger self as they race against time to complete a mission. While time travel has been explored before, Johnson infuses as much as logic as it's possible to make an effective film out of it, even though it requires several u-turns with the genres that includes Sci-F-, action, drama and romance. Johnson clearly inspired by other Sci-Fi classics such as Chris Marker's "La Jetée"-"Twelve Monkeys" and "The Terminator" amongst others. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis star playing the younger and older versions of the characters where Gordon-Levitt's face his changed to match Willis'. The solid supporting cast includes Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels and Paul Dano. 1001 Films' coverage of current releases.
