The “Intouchables,” based on a true story, is an ingratiating French comedy of cross-racial friendship about two men — one rich, uptight and white; the other poor, exuberant and black — who become best pals in spite of their differences. Aristocrat, Philippe is paralyzed from the neck down as the result of a hang-gliding accident and lives attended by a nervous staff and ignored by his adolescent daughter. His newest employee, a streetwise hoodlum named Driss, does not look as though he will last long in the job. Moving into Philippe’s mansion, Driss steps away from a background of poverty, family dysfunction and trouble with the police. Under his boss’s stern gaze and imperious tutelage he starts to acquire a work ethic and a sense of discipline. In exchange, he helps Philippe discover his appetite for life and his capacity for joy.

A hired gun from the future discovers that his greatest adversary is himself in this twisting sci-fi mindbender. In the year 2047 time travel has yet to be invented. Thirty years later, however, it has. Though immediately outlawed, time-travel technology is quickly appropriated by the mob, and used to cleanly dispose of anyone deemed a threat. The process is simple: When the mob wants someone to disappear, they simply send them back to the year 2047, where an assassin known as a “looper” quickly carries out the hit, and disposes of the body. Joe Simmons is one of the most respected loopers around. Each kill earns him a big payday, and he’s got big plans to retire to France. Then, one day, as Joe patiently awaits the appearance of his next target near the edge of a remote corn field, he’s shocked to come face-to-face with his future self. When the younger Joe hesitates, the older Joe makes a daring escape. Now, in order to avoid the wrath of his underworld boss, young Joe must “close the loop” and kill his older counterpart. Director: Rian Johnson. Cast: Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, Noah Segan. Rated: R. Time: 1:59.
