I’ve never been so sold on a movie synopsis…

Movie Concept: Looper

Looper is an R-rated action thriller set in the near future, when time-travel has been invented but is only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they send them back in time, and a Looper is there to mop up. Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is making a very good living as a Looper, until one day they send a target back through time that he recognizes – his future self (Bruce Willis).

Real movie I’m seeing on Tuesday. I’ll report back with my findings… for science.
