re: Looper = Movie of the year

Just got back from watching this. I thought it was pretty good but it is a thinking person's movie. I wouldn't be surprised to find people not liking it because they expected something else.

SPOILERS


















I wish they would have talked a bit more about how the Rainmaker takes over. I understand he uses his TK powers but I'd like to know more about the process. Even though I enjoyed it I feel like these open ended story lines (like Inception) where you draw your own conclusion are getting a little cliche'.

My husband and I wondered why Sid's gunshot wound/graze didn't disappear after JGL shot himself.

Symbolism.

The implication was JGL and BW were in a closed loop which inevitably led to the same outcomes, over and over. They all were. All it took was one looper to end the loop in reverse (kill himself while young to change the fate of everyone).

Plot holes still abound, but it was good.
