Looper

Hunted by your future. Haunted by your past.

With ignoring the basic holes that come with all time travel stories, we are left with several good aspects of a good story. An assassin, paid well, does his job well, eliminating targets from the future. Joseph Gordon Leavitt is a man to watch, as his career has gone no where but good. He seems to really focus his work, and three hours every day in a makeup chair only begins to prove his dedication to acting.

When faced with himself from the future, he obviously sees conflict in killing his own self, but amongst Loopers, this is a normal occurrence, when you quit you simply close your loop, and have thirty years left to live, the only problem was Joe never closed his loop. Someone went wrong.

Without giving too much away, the film brings together a lot of aspects that to me define the true intention of "good."

A mother who would die for her child.

A man who would kill for his wife.

And a boy who would die for the greater good.
