Entertainment Geekly: A frank debate about 'Looper'

Anyone who saw the eye-catching trailer for Looper knew that the movie was going to be a complicated sci-fi thriller. The futuristic noir stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis as the same man — a mob assassin named Joe — at different stages of his life. Young Joe winds up hunting Old Joe — so far, so twisty. But around the midpoint of Looper, things take a really crazy turn. I thought the movie never recovered from that turn; my esteemed colleague Adam B. Vary disagrees. That disagreement led to a very special episode of Entertainment Geekly, featuring an in-depth (and extremely SPOILER-y) conversation about the movie. Seriously, if you haven’t seen the movie yet, you definitely should before partaking of this episode.
