      life changing cycle

      The next 30 years in the world will change everything! In the future world of 2074, the United States was finally crushed and withered by the economic depression, resulting in social corruption and gangs running rampant. And time travel has become a gang-specific tool. They sent the so-called person to be eliminated, that is, Loop back 30 years ago in 2044, and let the young professional killer they were raising, the so-called ring messenger Looper get rid of. And these loopers who make a...

      "I'm from the future, you should go to China."

      I was ready to cry and
      kept the fine tradition of crying every time I watched a movie. As a

      result, I had the hallucination of "wanting to change the channel" twice in the movie theater...
      No matter if I watched the cut version or not,
      I want to spit out a few



      opening words - learn while you are French while shooting a gun,
      but the setting is so cruel, there is love, and there is a feeling


      Then - the boss Abe came out to educate...

      closing one's loop

      In reality, it's probably a four star movie. At least the chinese version should be given four star. Bruce willis' romantic encounter with the chinese lady stuck out oddly in an otherwise great movie. Some didn't like the TK thing and felt that it had become overly sci fi akin the fifth element, but I thought the TK revelation was quite a perfect fit, especially when the kid's real identity and power was revealed.

      The international version, I heard, tried to explain the protagonist's...

      Self-contradictory logic and selfishness and ignorance of human nature

      YSS RECOMMEND

      , as a fan of the sci-fi film "Ring Messenger", cannot be missed. The movie has just started, and in the silence, bang! A man was shot dead. My spirit is shocked: the current movie, naked violence!

      Going back to the past to change the future is still incomprehensible with our human ability and logic. Ever since I was a child, watching "Drabocat", I liked to analyze the changes of cause and effect caused by Yasuo's return to the past in a time machine. Of...

      You have to admit the success of this movie. . .

      One more star for the sake of Lao Bo and 囧 Joseph.
      It was said that the screenwriter was quite self-deprecating at that time, "About the time-space paradox, we won't discuss it, we don't understand it anyway, we just want to make a low-cost movie that looks a bit dick to pretend X to idiots. Before two-thirds of the time, few people could guess the ending, right? Yes, it was the ending that was so vulgar that you would dare to dare to be so vulgar. How many people could have guessed that...

      This is better than Spider-Man and Batman combined, with a conscience feeling, pretending to be deep and forceful to go out and be bitten by a dog. You can say that the plot is bloody, you can say that the plot is Hollywood, but the worldview of American movies is hard to pick. The difference from other blockbusters is that this time the personal sacrifice is not to achieve the world, but to save the people in front of you. The ending is the victory of the good worldview, which is completely...

      I think what the director wants to say is the cause and effect of "husbands can kill for their wives, and mothers can die for their children". There are still logical loopholes in the time loop in the...

      Overall good and high quality. But something very important was missing: the scene where the superhuman slaughtered when he grew up. There is only verbal description in the film and no visual representation at all, making it difficult to accept Bruce Willis's reasons for killing the child. The ending is similar to the ending of Butterfly Effect 1. The protagonist commits suicide after many...

      The ending is so pale, there is too much foreplay, and it takes more than half of the time to figure out the rain caller. Jon Joseph died so wrongly, that child will definitely be a pervert in the future, no matter which time line he is...

      Twelve Monkeys, Butterfly Effect and Terminator——I was so pleasantly surprised that Paul Dano appeared, but in a blink of an eye, it was hung up. Joseph Gordon's makeup is so strange that Xu Qing is really good, but it's a sense of disobedience, It is said that the mainland version has deleted the plot of drug use, violent...

    North America Evaluation

    Exciting action scenes, excellent style, steady suspense, outstanding acting skills and discussion of youth, growth and personal destiny. For a science fiction film, the film covers everything perfectly. ( " Wall Street Journal " review )
    The film is not only a good film, but a great masterpiece. ( Review of " Rearview Mirror " )
    Clever science fiction films are almost extinct now: focusing on science will appear cold and boring, and too...

      Joe: I work as a specialized assassin, in an outfit called the Loopers. When my organization from the future wants someone to die, they zap them back to me and I eliminate the target from the future. The only rule is: never let your target escape... even if your target is you.
