Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Looper" Rated R for Language and Violence
Characters/Actors: Young Joe (Joseph-Gordon "Premium Rush" Levitt, Older Joe (Bruce "Die Hard" Willis) Sam (Jeff "Dumb and Dumber" Daniels) Emily Blunt, Piper "Covert Affairs" Perabo, etc.
Some time in the future time travel is invented, but it is highly illegal. Only organized criminals use time travel to have undesirables killed by way of "loopers" or assasssins of the future who travel back in time to kill targeted people without leaving a trace. Sometimes Loopers, named for "closing the loop" are ordered to kill their future selves. Problems arise when they refuse or fail. In addition, a certain percentage of the population are born with a "TK (telekinesis) gene" and can move small items with their minds. One boy, though has a powerful TK ability and causes mayhem whenever he gets upset or angry. This boy will grow up to be the evil and ruthless crime boss "The Rainmaker", who specializes in killing off Loopers. However, someone is looking to kill the boy to prevent this. This was a really cool movie, but it might not be for non-science-fiction fans.
