Looper is the perfect modern action movie, mixing in some sci-fi with time travel and mind control, the action is endless.

Mixed with all the sci-fi craziness is a love story, we're shown older Joe [Bruce Willis] with his love interest, I won't give away the storyline but the whole thing did make me cry. I hardly ever cry in the cinema, the only other time I have is when watching 50/50 starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I'm not a huge Bruce Willis fan, in fact I don't know if I've even seen any films with him in... But he was really good in this. Good in the action parts which is obvious he will be as this is what he's known for, but surprisingly believable in the romantic scenes.
Another thing that tugs on the heart strings is Sara's [Emily Blunt] problems with her child.
Again, I won't give away what happens, but some of the scenes with them mix futuristic ideas with family and relationship problems that will forever be relateable to.
Giving this five crazy Joe faces out of five.
Looper is an interesting film, looking at ideas about the future but also includes a lot an audience can relate to. I find with some futuristic films you can feel distant from the characters, no empathy and no real feel with what's going on, but with this you do.
☮ Vanilla Sky - Starring Tom Cruise, a film jumping through time too.
☮ American Beauty - a few scenes skipping through time to make the film something to think about
