Looper (2012)
Director: Rian Johnson
Synopsis
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt star in this time-travelling sci-fi, with Gordon-Levitt and Willis playing young and older versions of the same character, Joe. Joe is a hitman with a difference: he’s a ‘looper’ who kills targets sent back from a future in which time travel has been invented. When he realises one of the targets is his older self, he understandably has a few qualms. Directed by Brick’s Rian Johnson, this already has the sci-fi community salivating.
