Looper


A young assassin is chosen to exterminate targets that are sent to him from the future. The killing becomes ritual, at a certain time he goes and kills every single person sent to him without guilt or second thought. This all happens til someone shows up for him to kill and he can't. Something causes him to be unable to carry through with his instructions to murder. I won't elaborate further to ruin the viewing enjoyment for someone who hasn't gone to see it.

As many time travelling movies go, Looper has a sense of ming-bending confusion and intricacy. It's definitely demonstrative to what can happen when the imagination isn't being limited and bound. As you watch the movie, there's a definite feeling of uncertainty of what's going to happen, even til the end. This movie definitely has the sense of fairy tale, you must be willing to watch this movie being able to watch it with the mind of a child, knowing that the confsing, unexpected imagination is a good place to be, not dismissing it as impossible and trying to analyze it too much.
