Looper (2012) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1276104/

Hi everybody,
So I must confess that I expected a lot entering the theater, and sadly I was bitter disappointed. Having read a few god reviews from some places and perhaps I put the bar high, too high, but even though the concept of the movie really worked for me, something just didn't clicked, I see how some people might not agree with me and I must confess there is some really good writing in this movie, but I felt that that some of the action was just a plot device to do a cool movie, and even if we are talking about time travelling you must stick to the rules of your own universe.

That being sad and skip if you haven't seen the movie (SPOILERS AHEAD) let's see what I didn't felt it worked: skipping all the initials flash backs/forwards whatever you want to call it, there is a scene where Bruce and Gordon-Levitt meet at a dinner that really put me of, Gordon-Levitt ask to see the picture of the Bruce wife, so that he wouldn't marry her in the future, the assumption is that if he saw it and he made that decision Bruce would forget her immediately in the present, so after that we have to assume that every decision that he made has to affect Bruce even if the hadn't make the action per say, and this scene is a rabbit hole, i think is legit to say that all his action where consequence of the path he took from the beginning, so Bruce should have know what was going to happen from the get go. To me there was only 2 options to the ending, Ether it was a full circle and it ended how it began, or the same thing that happened in the start of the movie with the showing of Bruce story with Gordon-Levitt killing Bruce, and showing the kid 30 years later, and possibly the kid taking another path of life.

Well I don't know if that made any sense but the movie is really confusing itself.

FINAL THOUGHT'S: You should go see it the concept itself is good but don't expect a very compelling story.
