I am not even talking about inconsistent "time travel rules". I just can't understand why the mob would need loopers? I feel like I am missing something:
Why can't the mob send a guy back to 2044 not to start this looper business but to build a giant incinerator, and send people directly in that from the future? This way the mob doesn't have to deal with coked-out assassins and closing the loop stuff. Just have one dude who cleans up afterward and send their payment directly after. Mob has a time travel machine in an abandoned warehouse, I think they can spare the resources to spool that thing twice for each "hit". Besides they wouldn't be paying thousands of dollars worth of bars to the loopers.
Am I missing something or is this movie ass?
