Rian Johnson's Looper is an adrenaline-fueled ride that is wrapped around a thoroughly philosophical take on time travel. The movie begins with Joe being a hitman, killing those sent from the future, which leads him to cross paths with himself at an older age. Its thought-provoking premise questions who has the authority to kill each other, especially in a cycle of time-traveling revenge. With both Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis taking turns to thrill audiences, this movie is gripping and thought-provoking while being a treasure trove with repeat viewings.
