For nearly an hour, Looper feels like it’s just going to be a typical — if incredibly stylish and fun — sci-fi action movie. But it’s the opposite of someone’s past catching up to them — in Joe’s case, it’s his future catching up to him.
This was based on a Japanese novel, All You Need is Kill, but that title was scrapped because of the word “kill.” It was released in theaters with the generic title of Edge of Tomorrow. But for the home market, it was retitled as Live Die Repeat mostly because not enough went to see it with the previous title. Or something. Are we confused yet? So yes, this is the movie where Tom Cruise dies a lot. Let’s just call it that.
