Before it was CLIMAX, now it's a LOOPER.

Russovoir wishes he could tell you right now, right here the loop of Looper that felt like - how fitting this is - a roller coaster ride.

As if life was kind enough for a precaution, unsolicited and completely at random, a seemingly frank woman who clearly has watched the film said it's an hour too long. There are only a few films that are acceptably two (2) hours long; in fact I can only think of one movie franchise: Harry Potter. Everything else who tries to break the standard length of a film must have a story so well-written, so compelling that time has to seem it didn't matter, brain disabled the need to pee. To Russovoir's disappointment, he did remember looking at the time with brewing impatience, wondering how will this movie end, an hour and a half of "loop tying" gone by. It must have a compromised ending; a loop poorly done, it's not gripping. Then like a noose, the film's loop constricts! Russovoir felt death all around the room.

Russovoir didn't breathe; ten seconds of unblinking, surreal climax.

"I saw how a mother would die for her child..."
It was a mood changer, the last twenty minutes. It was honestly, and frankly genius story making. In result, Russovoir didn't mind that Joseph Gordon-Levitt had so much cake and facial corrections (to look like Bruce Willis as closely as possible) that looked like he just came from a botox procedure. All the same, he is knot a bad actor, to say the least. There is action, there is suspense, and why Russovoir didn't see it coming he applauds Hollywood, there is motherly reform.
