Looper

We watched Looper a couple of weeks ago - interesting concept: Time travel has been invented in the future, but is forbidden. Gangs from 30 years in the future are using it to send enemies to the present time to get killed by "loopers", hired guns who blast the victims the second they appear in the present.

Occasionally, the victim is himself - in which case the reward is a large amount of gold, enabling the looper to live the good life, knowing that it will all end in 30 years.

What happens when a looper refuses to kill his older self and the two of them end up in the same timeline? Or if his older self escapes? Well, it's a Bruce Willis movie after all, so there is a lot of blasting guns, many dead baddies, a few innocent victims, and a small dose of romance.
Very enjoyable.
