9. Looper

Blade Runner
TriStar Pictures

Before he went on to helm The Last Jedi, perhaps the most divisive film in Star Wars history, Rian Johnson wrote and directed Looper, a smart and stylish time-travelling action/thriller.

Joseph Gordon Levitt plays a contract killer who disposes of targets sent back by a crime syndicate from the future. One day, that target is his future self, played by Bruce Willis.

Willis looks like he can actually be bothered for a change and Joseph Gordon Levitt puts in a typically solid performance despite a distracting CGI face augmentation intended to make him look a bit more like Willis. You just can't take your eyes off of it.

Overall though, Looper is a fun and entertaining film with a unique premise.
