No good will come of this.

Looper

It is 2044 and thirty years before the invention of time travel Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) works as a Looper. A vicious future crime Syndicate sends people back in time, trussed up and helpless, to be disposed of so there's no forensic trace of them.

It's a lucrative easy life with a shelf life. Once you're no longer of use to the Syndicate they send you back to be disposed of by yourself, "closing the loop".

Occasionally a looper won't go through with it and there is hell to pay.

When Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) is sent back he's not helpless.

March has been hired to look for the famous porn actress Misty Mountains, despite her dying very publicly a few days earlier in a car crash. Her aunt is convinced she's seen her since.

March's investigation has lead him to a young woman called Amelia (Margaret Qualley) but Healey has been paid by her to frighten March off.
