some where in the future...2044 to be precise Joe is a looper a hired assassin who waits for his victim to materialise from the future then blasts them with a crude scatter gun, Joe is living the high life hes rich and hes a drug addict until one day his future self appears in front of him,this is called closing the loop.needless to say things don't go smoothly from this point what follows is a paradoxical nightmare for Joe ,ironic you know how some people say if i could go back in time i would tell myself all the pitfall and mistakes etc ,well older Joe does just so and has it thrown back in his face ,which is actually the way it would happen! anyway both versions of Joe are driven towards a situation of emotionally fraught scenario's both with there separate agendas literally fighting his self's, this makes for great entertainment all of the actors are superb its a rare beast a sc-fi action movie with heart and brain it pulls off the wizard of oz hat trick,courage,heart,and intelligence.
