Looper

This weekend I watched Looper.    It was a little weird and horrifying at parts.  The premise is that there is time travel in the future and criminals are in control of it.  Everyone they want offed gets sent back to the past tied up with their head in a sack to be shot by a looper with a blunderbuss.  Eventually, a looper turns over his hit and finds a stack of gold bricks attached to the back of the person.  This person, turns out to be themselves.  They have their loop closed.  This means they are now free from their contracts and can live out the next 30 years doing as they please. Joseph Gordon Levitt's character, Joe, has been saving his money and studying French so he can eventually move to France once his loop has been completed.  His best friend comes to him one night and tells him that his loop came to him and was singing the song his mother used to sing to him.  He couldn't kill himself, so he let's himself go.  This starts a man hunt for his future self.  It also starts Joe thinking about his looper.  Soon, his one self turns up, uncuffed and unhooded.  His future self, played by Bruce Willis, also kicks his ass.  The future Joe knows that the future is run my a new guy that was a kid at this current time.  He plans on killing the kid before he can grow up and become completely evil.   Young Joe is left to protect one of the three kids that turns out to be the "future evil," The Rainmaker.  So young Joe ends the loop.
