The film’s circular time travel rules are used to incredible effect, including a truly terrifying scene where Dano’s character is mutilated off screen and his older version begins losing body parts. There’s also this half-logical thing that as young Joe does things, old Joe’s memories shift, and his old memories become blurry. It’s a scary situation for old Joe, especially since every move young Joe makes, he gets further and further away from the love of his life.
She exhibits strength and confidence, but is actually scared, lonely, and very willing to throw everything away for the right reason.Even the film’s final reveal, where young Joe realizes the only way to free the future from the terrors of the Rainmaker is to kill himself, seems much clearer and simple now than I remember it being. Back whencame out, I sat down and interviewed Johnson for 10 minutes just breaking down all of the time travel stuff..
honestly, my favorite bruce willis movie
A bit confusing at one point but great overall
