The Beginning is the End is the Beginning: A Review of “Looper”

What? I’m not above reusing jokes for the title. Sue me. Besides, it’s far more appropriate a line for Rian Johnson’s Looper than it was for The Dark Knight Rises, as we’ll see in a moment.

I loved Looper. I loved the clever visuals, the tight storytelling, the smart dialogue, the great characters, the thematic richness, practically everything. Most of all, though, I loved what Looper represents.
