Looper (2012) Synopsis: In 2044, the United States has suffered economic collapse, causing severe social decay and growth in organized crime. Looper 2012 In addition, a strange mutation has occurred in 10% of the population, giving them minor telekinetic powers, manifested by their ability to float small objects. Looper 2012 They are referred to as TKs. Looper 2012 Thirty years into the future in 2074, time travel is invented, but is immediately outlawed. Looper 2012 However, because by that point tracking technology has rendered it nearly impossible to dispose of bodies secretly, crime bosses turn to time travel to send their targets to the past to be killed using "loopers": hired guns paid in silver to kill whoever is sent to them. Looper 2012 The victims have bags over their heads, and silver bars strapped to their backs. Looper 2012 When crime bosses want to end a looper's contract, they send his older version back to be killed by his younger self, referred to as "closing the loop".
Joseph "Joe" Simmons (Gordon-Levitt), 25, works for a mafia company in Kansas City as a looper. Looper 2012 Joe's boss, Abe (Jeff Daniels), was sent back in time to manage the loopers and also owns a club where Joe frequents and spends time with Suzie (Perabo), a showgirl. Looper 2012 Abe also controls the "Gat Men", his muscle, led by Kid Blue (Segan).
While at the club one evening, another looper announces that he has just closed his loop. Looper 2012 After killing the victim, he finds gold instead of silver, and recognizes his older self. Looper 2012 The big payoff is reason to party. Looper 2012 Joe notices that loops are being closed at an increasing pace.
One night, Seth (Dano), Joe's friend and a fellow looper, visits him in a panic telling him that he was supposed to close his own loop but couldn't do it. Looper 2012 Seth reports that his victim appeared, singing a song his mother had sung to him when he was a baby. Looper 2012 He couldn't kill him. Looper 2012 Old Seth tells Seth that a person called the Rainmaker has taken over organized crime and is closing all loops for unknown reasons. Looper 2012 The Gat Men then knock on Joe's door, so he hides Seth in his apartment floor safe. Looper 2012 The Gat Men suspect Joe is shielding Seth, so they take him in to Abe.Abe makes a deal with Joe. Looper 2012 If he gives up Seth, he will walk free. Looper 2012 If he doesn't, he can't be killed, as it will upset things in the future, but they can definitely make things difficult for him by taking the silver he has been hoarding for his retirement in France. Looper 2012 Joe immediately give up Seth. Looper 2012 Abe suggests Joe go to China instead of France. Looper 2012 "Don't go to France. Looper 2012 Go to China. Looper 2012 I'm from the future. Looper 2012 I know these things."
Old Seth attempts to climb a barb-wire fence, but notices old scars appearing on his arm, spelling out words telling him to go to an address. Looper 2012 He ignores this, and one of his fingers disappears. Looper 2012 Shortly after, another finger is gone. Looper 2012 The stubs are not bloody - as if the digits were removed many years earlier. Looper 2012 Then the tip of his nose is cut off. Looper 2012 Old Seth returns to his car, and heads for the address he was given. Looper 2012 Running toward it, he loses a foot, then apparently both feet, and he falls to the ground and crawls to the door. Looper 2012 He bangs on the door, and it is opened by one of the Gat Men, who immediately shoots him. Looper 2012 Behind the shooter, we can see Young Seth, alive on a table where they were chopping off his body parts, and we hear the sound of a ventilator..Joe continues to do killings. Looper 2012 After each killing, he visits a diner, and works on his French lessons. Looper 2012 He is served by a waitress named Beatrix. Looper 2012 While waiting to do one killing, he is puzzled when the victim is late. Looper 2012 When the person does appear, he has no bag over his head. Looper 2012 Joe recognizes Old Joe (Willis) as his older self, and tries to shoot him. Looper 2012 Old Joe spins around, and uses the gold on his back to deflect the bullet. Looper 2012 He grabs a gold bar and throws it at Joe, then knocks him out with a punch.
Joe comes to, and finds a note, telling him to get out of town. Looper 2012 Instead, Joe returns to his apartment, where he finds the Gat Men searching it and removing his silver. Looper 2012 He shoots one, but is winged by another, falls from his fire escape and blacks out.
Flashback to Joe waiting for a victim. Looper 2012 He kills him as usual, but sees that it is his older self, with the gold. Looper 2012 This time, he has closed the loop. Looper 2012 We step quickly through the next 30 years, and see Joe has a good retirement. Looper 2012 He moves to China, meets a beautiful, caring woman, and settles down. Looper 2012 Then, after 30 years, he is grabbed, and prepared to be sent back to be killed. Looper 2012 He manages to slip his wrist restraints, get his hood off, and kill his attackers. Looper 2012 He then jumps into the time machine. Looper 2012 We see the previous events unfold, and watch Old Joe escape in Joe's truck. Looper 2012 He buys all the first aid supplies he can find, and heads to Joe's apartment. Looper 2012 Old Joe sees Young Joe fall from the balcony and land on a car. Looper 2012 He rescues him, and disappears again.
Old Joe looks up some cryptic numbers at the library, when letters begin to form on his hand and arm spelling out "Beatrix". Looper 2012 Old Joe meets Young Joe at the diner. Looper 2012 They order identical meals. Looper 2012 Old Joe asks Joe how his French lessons are going, then says in French: "I know you have a gun under the table pointed at me." When Young Joe doesn't understand, Old Joe says "It's okay that you didn't get all that. Looper 2012 You will. Looper 2012 Even though you don't get to France, I'm still glad I learned the language." The Joes confirm with each other that the Rainmaker is killing off the loopers, and Old Joe tells Joe that he also killed his wife when Old Joe was abducted. Looper 2012 If Old Joe can kill the Rainmaker, then he never would be captured, and his wife would still be alive. Looper 2012 All that is known about the Rainmaker is that he works alone, he has a plastic jaw, and he watched his mother as she was killed.
They tussle when Old Joe realizes that Young Joe still plans to kill him. Looper 2012 The Joes notice that the diner has cleared out. Looper 2012 Staff and customers have disappeared. Looper 2012 Suddenly, the Gat Men burst in. Looper 2012 Old Joe gives Joe a piece of a map with an address marked and a string of digits, and tells him that the Rainmaker may live there. Looper 2012 Young Joe and the Gat Men shoot at Old Joe as he runs off. Looper 2012 Then the Gat Men start shooting at Young Joe, who also runs off.
Young Joe follows the coordinates to a farmhouse owned by Sara (Blunt), who lives with her son Cid (Gagnon). Looper 2012 When Joe shows Sara the map, Sara recognizes the digits as Cid's birthday and the serial number of the hospital where he was born, prompting Young Joe to explain the situation about the Rainmaker. Looper 2012 The database Old Joe used with the string of digits produced three possible children born on the same day in the same hospital, and he is intent on killing them.
Sara tells Cid to stay away from Joe, but Cid is curious. Looper 2012 He befriends Joe, and shows him some of the electronics gear he is playing with. Looper 2012 Joe is very impressed with the advanced work the five-year-old is doing.
Old Joe tracks down one of the potential Rainmaker children heading to a birthday party. Looper 2012 He kills him, but when he realizes he is still existing in his past, he breaks down crying. Looper 2012 He has killed the wrong child. Looper 2012 He then heads to the other child's place, but is hesitant when he realizes it is where his girlfriend, Suzie, from 30 years earlier is living with her son. Looper 2012 Instead of killing the child right away, he watches their apartment.
As Young Joe and Sara become close, he learns that she is a telekinetic with slightly more power than the other TKs, and that Cid was raised by Sara's sister for two years until she was somehow killed. Looper 2012 Cid thinks Sara's sister was his mother, and does not believe that Sara is his real mother.
The next day, one of the Gat Men, Jesse (Dillahunt), comes looking for Joe. Looper 2012 Cid helps him escape, and Jesse leaves. Looper 2012 While Cid and Joe are alone hiding from Jesse, Joe tells him how his own mother gave him to The Panhandlers, so that he grew up without her, a moment later saying that she sold him and that she used drugs. Looper 2012 We see how being motherless led Joe to become a killer and a drug user. Looper 2012 Although he left, Jesse is suspicious, and returns. Looper 2012 This startles Cid, who falls down the stairs and lets out a telekinetic blast, killing Jesse. Looper 2012 Jesse's blood "rains" out of his chest, implying that is why the Rainmaker has that nickname. Looper 2012 Cid's extraordinary telekinetic abilities confirm to Joe that Cid is the Rainmaker, and that Sara's sister was killed by Cid when he lost control of his powers. Looper 2012 Joe finds Cid crying outside the house, and comforts him. Looper 2012 Joe realizes that this boy needs love, and may not turn into the Rainmaker if he is raised in a loving home.
Meanwhile, Kid Blue has tracked Old Joe to the apartment he was watching, and captures him when he breaks inside to kill the child.
Young Joe tells Sara and Cid to flee, surmising that his employers and/or Old Joe will target the farm. Looper 2012 Old Joe breaks free, killing Abe and all the Gat Men except for Kid Blue, who is shot in the foot. Looper 2012 As the two Joes confront each other near Sara's house, Kid Blue attacks and is killed by Young Joe.
Sara and Cid attempt to drive away, but Old Joe starts shooting at their truck. Looper 2012 Cid wants Sara to stop the truck so they don't come closer and when she won't he uses his TK powers to cause the truck to flip. Looper 2012 He and Sara attempt to run to the sugar cane field to hide. Looper 2012 Old Joe attempts to shoot them and the bullet grazes Cid's cheek. Looper 2012 Cid gets angry and uses a blast of his TK powers to suspend Sara and Old Joe in the air. Looper 2012 Joe has been following after Old Joe in his truck, which is knocked over by the TK blast. Looper 2012 Sara calms Cid, telling him that she is his mother, and she loves him. Looper 2012 Cid lowers Sara and Old Joe, but Old Joe grabs his gun, ready to shoot Cid. Looper 2012 Sara stands in front of Cid preventing him from shooting. Looper 2012 Old Joe shoots Sara through the heart. Looper 2012 Cid sees his mother die, then escapes through the sugar canes and onto a slowly passing freight train. Looper 2012 Flashback to a moment before the shot was fired: Young Joe understands that by shooting Sara and wounding Cid, Old Joe creates the embittered child who will become the Rainmaker without his mother's love and also realizes that even by killing Old Joe the loop will not be closed and Old Joe will keep coming back, so Young Joe turns his gun on himself. Looper 2012 He pulls the trigger and dies, thus closing the loop circuit from his end. Looper 2012 Almost instantly, Old Joe disappears.
Sara lovingly puts Cid to bed after bandaging up the cut on his face caused by Old Joe's shot. Looper 2012 Sara then goes back out to the sugar field and notices that the truck is filled with gold bars, which Old Joe must have stolen from the mafia. Looper 2012 They will be well provided for. Looper 2012 She walks over to Young Joe's body lying in the field, and takes a moment to stroke his hair, something that he had confided to Suzie that his own mother used to do for him.
