That's the movie I saw in the trailers, the one I expected to see. Interesting idea-even if it's not very plausible. But I started out watching a movie about a hit man who shoots mob victims sent back in time from the future, and knows that his final victim will be his older self. The kid playing the young Rainmaker was outstanding.ĭon't get me wrong this movie is very well made. The sci fi is not foolproof as the director would like it to be but the film is appealing and entertaining enough with a nice blend of action and thrills. Its a novel update and presentation of sci fi tropes that we have seen before in films like Terminator. Maybe somehow, younger Joe can close a loop. Hence we have a chain of events that would go off and affect both Joes. He meanwhile seeks refuge in a farmhouse where he discovers a boy with telekinetic powers. Younger Joe needs to kill older Joe before the mob in his present kills both of them. However as he is taken to be sent back in time, his wife is killed and he vows to kill the child that will grow up to be The Rainmaker. He through the love of a woman cleaned himself up and found inner peace. However it emerges that in the future a person called The Rainmaker has unrivalled telekinetic powers and is sending loopers back in time to be killed. One day these loopers will have to kill their older selves. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Joe a drug addicted assassin who kills and disposes bodies of victims sent 30 years back in time by a crime syndicate which runs time travel machines. However its certainly an entertaining story and its nice to see a film where Bruce Willis makes an effort, he certainly must have liked the script. Its take on time travel and assassination is certainly flawed and has loopholes. Looper is a movie that certainly divides opinion.
