Looper

In 2044, 25-year-old Joe works for a Kansas City crime syndicate as a “looper”. Since future tracking systems have made it nearly impossible to dispose of victims’ bodies, the syndicate uses time travel. Managed by a man from the future named Abe, loopers kill and dispose of victims whose faces are concealed. The assassins are paid with silver bars that are strapped to their targets.
