This is basically a public service announcement: Looper opens today, and if you like science fiction movies, great acting, and utter (morally defensible! self-critical!) fucking ownage, get thee to a cinema. For more, my non-spoiler review at Tor.com.
The only gripe I have with Looper, I enjoyed it as a film is this: Why do the Loopers have to kill, or close, THEIR OWN, loop?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it make sense for Loopers to kill another Looper's future self, rather than their own? This seems like a huge liability waiting to happen. It's hard to ask someone to basically kill themselves. But someone else, unless it was like a lover or a friend would be easier, self preservation and what not. Plus it's be harder for them to recognize a future version of someone else.
