Title: If you liked District 9 . . .
Review: Then you will love this "gritty," depressing, anti-heroic "sci-fi" fable (not even a parable, which would have given it some sort of redeeming quality; but, no). The only redeeming act, of course, is that the looper commits to ending the loop, producing a possibly favorable outcome in the future; IF, that is, the kid grows up under the loving care of his mom and does not become the evil actor hinted at. The premise is clever, but one-note overall. Not living up to its potential development. But then I am a fan of more "mainstream" sci-fi: Serenity, Star Wars (original), and that ilk. Geez, I wish they'd make movies of Time Enough for Love and Foundation and THAT ilk. Solid, entertaining, epic.
