Looper (2012)
If you liked the action thriller Minority Report, check out Looper, another imaginative action thriller that revolves around the premise of killing criminals—and something goes wrong. In the futuristic world, contract killers use time travel to get rid of the bad guys, and every person they kill has a bag over his face so the elimination can be done quickly and without guilt. As Joseph Gordon-Levitt goes about his work, one victim arrives at the elimination site without a bag on his face, and he looks extremely familiar. It turns out it’s the older version of Joe, played by Bruce Willis!
If that blows your mind, you’ll love this movie. I saw it in the theaters and was extremely riveted. It’s quick, smart, mysterious, and dramatic. With a bit of makeup and quite a bit of studying Bruce’s mannerisms and facial expressions, Joe is a perfect replica. Their scenes together are very well-acted and tense. You’ll also get to see Emily Blunt trying out a very different role in a Southern accent, and Paul Dano and Jeff Daniels in supporting roles. You might want to put the kids to bed on this one, but it’s a very good movie and I recommend you give it a shot—no pun intended.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to violence, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it.
