Looper (Blu-ray) Official AVSForum Review - Page 2

The Rainmaker = Cid, the young boy in the farm house. In one timeline, he witnesses his mother being killed by a "looper" and grows up to be a 'TK' savant with a vengeance to "close all the loops."

disliked the ending a bit as the character seemed to turn 'moral' too fast for my taste but that's what twist endings are all about I guess. As for the people that totally wrote it off because the Rainmaker was killing people in the future en masse, contrary to the reason they sent people back to be killed; well, the Rainmaker took over inside 6 months and had complete control. The reason the people were being sent back was prior to the Rainmaker taking over, the law could track the killings. I think someone that can vaporize you with their mind (as a child no less, before they fully develop the powers) is probably going to be above being arrested as they can kill anyone they like instantly. I do not find that a plot hole at all.

And like all time travel movies, there WILL be logic flaws if you poke hard enough. I liked how the movie tried not to get bogged down with hard theory and simply established a few basic premises and let the story unfold from there paradoxes be damned.

Watch it again, here's how I made it out: As Sid tells Joe about himself and his "two" mothers, you see Joe connect the similarities in his past and Sid's past. The ending is simply Joe realizing that Sid's without his mother becomes The Rainmaker, but with his mother could have a different future.
