Looper Review

When I saw the trailer I was intrigued. When I saw the reviews I was interested. When I saw the movie I was sold. Looper is a fun and creative time travel tale. The world that exists is one with a unique take on how people would abuse time travelling. The premise of the movie is explained early. The mafia controls time travel in the future and sends kills back to the past so trained assassins, called loopers, can kill the target and dispose of the body in the past. All loopers will be sent back as a target to themselves and this is why they are called loopers, and what is called closing the loop. Their future selves are sent back with a large sum of money, and the loopers can live the next 30 years without any reservation, but they know the time limit on their lives. Uniquely creative is the universe that Rian Johnson created.
