Poorly Finished

Rating: 4/10 (12 January 2013)

The first 45 minutes or so of this movie were fantastic. "Why haven't I seen this yet?", I thought to myself. After, however, the diner scene with JGL and BW, everything went downhill.
The start of this movie is fantastic, it's thrilling, it's well acted and thought out. Some note that many things aren't plausible and the plot doesn't really make sense to begin with. I agree with that, but what the heck, it's a thoughtless action movie. I don't always need everything to make sense or be a thinker.
The end of the movie is the part that really frustrated me. We transition from a movie about JGL killing for the mob to JGL almost killing his looper, which is fine. I like that transition. But within minutes, the movie has transitioned again to an entirely different, completely unexplained final 45 minutes of the movie.
The ending left me thinking, "Why on earth did I just watch this movie?" - nothing is finished, nothing is closed, nothing makes sense. Very poorly done.
On a side note, it was all acted very well.
