A fascinating theory, an intriguing concept that got let down by a set of inefficiencies in its script. Those of you who know me are also acquainted with the fact that I long for these subjects, anything remotely associated with Time, Space, or Paradoxes intrigues my conscience. I am somebody who is always on the lookout for such titles and that's exactly how I stumbled upon Rian Johnson's Looper.
As I said, this has got an incredible idea, and a compelling notion indeed, but the execution failed to match up to its ambitions. While the first act is adequately paced and kind of sets up the stage, the second act as well as a part of the third heavily struggles with pace and is fraught with inconsistencies! Even though the ending made conscious efforts for redemption, but it was already too late. (By the way, I had already guessed the twist by then).
As a direct consequence, the vision never fully materialized. Albeit make no mistake, this still was a fun watch and has a lot to showcase but I wish it had done better in supervising the complicatedness of the subject.
