Time travel is the focus here, but it's all about the chase and the shoot-outs when it's all said and done. A "looper" is an assassin in the past that the criminals and ultra-wealthy use to send back those they want to kill to get rid of the evidence. There's money to be made in this business, or at least silver, and those in it instantly become hunted if they fail to complete their "loop". It's a neat premise that works on many levels, but wait there's more. There are also mutants who possess some nasty powers living in their midst. Those mutants are well-like, to say the least, and they become instant targets when they're found out. Well, they picked a very cute little kid to play a mutant, but he is as powerful as an X-Men in this respect and everyone runs for cover whenever he gets excited. I recommend this movie to fans of the stars, sci-fi fans, and those just looking for an action-packed film. I was satisfied on many levels.
