Synopsis
In a not so distant future, time travel will be a reality. But it will be an illegal operation, used by organized crime to send bothersome individuals back into the past. There, a henchman gets rid of them without leaving physical or temporal traces. Joe is one of these hired killers, an efficient, coldblooded looper; but when his bosses decide to close his “line of work”, he must face none other than his future self. After leaving us nailed to our seats with Brick, Rian Johnson returns to dazzle us with a top-level thriller including a high-class cast.
