kudos:2 | 'Looper' - New time travel movie - Bruce Willis In theaters Sept. 28, 2012
In a futuristic gangland in the year 2047, a 25-year-old killer named Joseph Simmons (Gordon-Levitt) works for a mafia company in Kansas City as a "Looper." Loopers kill and dispose of agents sent by their employers from corporate headquarters in Shanghai from the year 2077. Loopers are foot soldiers, paid on the terms that all targets must never escape. When Simmons recognizes his target as a future version of himself (Willis), his older self escapes after incapacitating him. The resulting failure of his job causes his employers to come after him, forcing him to fight for his life as he hunts his older self.

i figure it's going to have something to do with the narrative structure they'll use to present a character that is attempting to track down and kill himself (an experience he would theoretically remember given he lived through the chasing part). |

I'm confused... how does killing someone in the future affect anything?

if Looper interests you, you owe it to yourself to track down another indie time travel related film: Primer.
@Grimm,
they send the target to the past to be killed, so that there is no body or evidence to find in the future (read: present), or at least, that's what i understand having not seen anything beyond the trailer. |

| Gotcha |
|
| Pretty much future self kills past self and poof both are gone forever. |

Looper, a sci-fi thriller that's amongst the best genre movies of the year. I'm gonna watch it. |
