Looper: fantastically intense

I dare say this is one of the top 5 movies released this year.  It is a wonderfully inventive storyline, where the writer strikes a fine balance between plot development and the science.  Based on a premise that mercenaries in the present kill criminals (...and themselves evenually) from the future, the mechanics of it all are inessential  to the rest of the story.  It almost morphs into a "what can I change in the past to prevent the hellish future I just came from?"- Terminator type story, but way more engaging to watch.  After it ended, I noticed an acute pain in my shoulders-- from being hunched and tense for the previous 2 hours.With dazzling special effects (there is a scene in the living room of the farmhouse that was amazing!), and simple humor, I highly highly recommend.
Verdict: totally worth it (Buzzworthy)
