Writer-director Rian Johnson's original sci-fi thriller is a crafty new take on the well-worn time travel narrative. It turns out, organized crime in the future will not be so different from the current state of things, with one significant difference: time travel. What happens when an assassin's job is to dispatch his older self, sent back 30 years from the future? Not all goes as planned. "Looper's" smart, fully realized plot includes enough great twists to keep you on your toes, and just when you think you've got it figured out, it takes a few more fearless leaps to throw you for a loop. Amid a dense release slate of tired action remakes, board game (!) adaptations, and kids-meal-friendly comic book sequels, "Looper" is a thrilling and thoughtful breath of fresh air.
