Good but flawed

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2012)

So I liked this movie but I don't understand how they didn't see all the flaws in it. A lot of them have been stated by other reviews I have read, although there is one that I haven't come across for some reason in other's reviews that I think is really obvious. So when it flashes back to Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character after he falls from the fire escape for the first time, he shoots his future Bruce Willis self. Then it continues and shows him (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) grow into Bruce Willis. If that happened then the 'Rainmaker' wouldn't be the 'Rainmaker' because it later shows that it was Bruce Willis killing Emily Blunt's character that caused the kid to turn into the 'Rainmaker', but that wouldn't happen. If he had killed his future self originally then how in gods name would the kid turn into the 'Rainmaker' that way. If there was no Bruce Willis returning from the future to kill the kids mom then there would be no 'Rainmaker', and with no 'Rainmaker' there would be no guy closing loops (which is also a part of the movie riddled with flaws) and he wouldn't of gotten sent back in the first place. The whole plot of the movie crumbles and just flies out the window with that discovery. It really makes me mad that this is how things would turn out if they did follow what happens in the movie because I liked the movie, it was a good movie but just that one big flaw ruins it a bit... a lot... but it was still good. Now that you've read this isn't your mind blown and just freakin' on the table across the room? Because if you start thinking about flaws in this movie after seeing it you will, well, do exactly what I said in that last sentence, with the having your mind blown and whatnot.
