SPOLIERS
I was also quite disappointed that they kept showing Bruce Willis' finger on the trigger about to shoot and then flash to JGL and so on...Why didn't JGL just shoot his hand off? That would have made it impossible for BW to get a shot off then and maybe Sarah could have got him separated from the gun before BW was able to overcome the shock and grab it with his left hand. It just seemed weird for him to immediately shoot himself in the chest instead of blowing a hand off.
But yeah, I had a ton of questions throughout this movie, but it was still pretty good.
Also, if the Rainmaker becomes good...does Bruce Willis ever go back in time to try to kill him? Does this mean that JGL never has to attempt to kill BW and thus never kills himself?

MORE SPOILERS...
This my friend and I's gripe with this movie. So now that JGL has killed himself, the entire premise of this movie is for naught. Essentially, nothing in this movie that we saw with Bruce Willis could have ever happened, and we finish the movie exactly where we started.

Bruce Willis could not go back in time because he died before time travel is invented in that timeline.
Your second objection doesn't even make sense. The Bruce Willis looper closes his loop, and the JGL looper doesn't. That in itself shows that any timelines are independent from one another, and any changes would only effect the future of that timeline.

I immediately thought of this when he stuck the blunderbuss to his chest. Dude could've just shot off his hand or even his trigger and middle fingers. I enjoyed the movie. I'm seeing a lot of thinking way too hard on some of the questions. The movie did a good job of explaining everything. The only loophole that I could maybe see is why not send the old loopers back to different loopers so they don't have to kill themselves.
