Looper

Looper is a Science Fiction noir film in which Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a man named Joe, and Bruce Willis plays the same man named Joe. Yeah, it's that type of a film. The film takes place in a world where time travel does not exist but will be invented thirty years into the future. In this future, it is illegal to travel time, but a flourishing black market has made the technology available to the mafia, who have put it to practical use. When they need to kill a target, they simply send the man back in time where a "looper" like Joe can kill and dispose of them without leaving evidence. Unfortunately Joe's latest target is proving difficult to kill, and to make matters worse, it's himself from the future.

The film, which also stars Paul Dano, Jeff Daniels, and Emily Blunt, is the third from writer/director Rian Johnson and his second collaboration with Levitt who describes the film as "the best thing he's ever worked on". Watch the trailer here.
