Finally an intelligent, thought provoking Sci-fi movie along the same lines as The Adjustment Bureau (2011) and Source Code (2011). A time travel brain teaser set in a dark dystopian near future world that looks like a mix of Blade Runner (1982) and 12 Monkeys (1995), which also starred Bruce Willis.

Gun totting assassins called ‘Loopers’ are well paid to kill people sent back in time from 30 years in the future by a criminal syndicate who need to dispose of people without leaving a trace. An unusual fate awaits these hit-men once they have outlived their usefulness. Their future self will get sent back in time to be killed by their younger self in the past; this is called closing the loop. They then have only 30 years to live out the remainder of their life.
