JGL is great although the makeup/cgi (I don't know which) to make him look like a young Bruce Willis creeps me out. Emily Blunt is one sexy lady. I think Looper was way more enjoyable than Brick which is what Rian Johnson was known for before this. I love the back-story and mystery revolving around the 'Rain-maker' and ya it was obvious pretty quickly but there is something about origin stories that tickles my fancy.

Then again he could have just been one mean ass sob.

If you really want your mind blown, watch Primer. It's a real low budget (no special effects) movie on time travel and to this date the best done with real cause and effect.

The problem I had with loopers (still a good movie) is that usually you have two ways of handling the paradox creation: either going back in time creates a full new reality so nothing you do has an effect on you, or you have only one reality and anything you do as a direct effect. But there they go halfway with each.

Which is all entertainment is supposed to do, which is entertain, and I was. I enjoy endings which illustrate how far one must go to find reconciliation, and the sacrifices one must make.
