Movie #745 ........................."Looper"

Movie #745 "Looper" is a very stylistic, science fiction film that recreates a whole new setting in the first part of it, and then presents a somewhat confusing at times adventure to the end of it. The film is overly violent (seeing a child shot should not be in ANY film) and abrupt in the narrative jumps, but the ending was a good one, and most of what's here is quite original. I liked the acting, but there are some parts in it that I wondered why they were even there --- for example, Piper Perabo seems very underused, and at one point he chases after 3 kids, and there didn't seem to be any reasoning why the number was three --- unless the number is a religious symbol. I kept thinking I must have been missing something because the film was tough to follow at time, but the environment is well created and enjoyable to watch. Theme is strong, too, so I would recommend it to those with strong stomachs. Looper 2012 R 118 minutes I rate it 3.8 stars out of 5 In the year 2042, Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a Looper, a hired assassin for the mob who kills people sent from the future. But what will he do when the mob decides to "close the loop," sending back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination?
