Sometimes past performance is indicative of future return. :) Let's say Uwe Boll had a new movie coming out... LOL.

I was going to be snarky and dig for one good Uwe Boll movie, but the simple act of opening their Wiki page crashes my browser
Also ahh, Rian Johnson bashing got it, I really liked Breaking Bad & Looper so shrugs
Never saw Breaking Bad, and like I say, I saw Looper and liked it until I thought about it.
The whole premise of Looper is mobsters in the future can't kill anyone because technology, but somehow can send people to hitmen in the past.
The hitmen in the past get paid in gold strapped to the victim, and if you get a TREMENDOUS payout, that means you killed your future self and are now retired.
Great premise, right?
Future police can track guns and homicides, but apparently can't track gold or time travel?
If you retired your hitman in the past, why would you need to kill them in the future? They've been retired at that point for decades. How did they fuck that up to the point of needing killing.
If you're paying your hitmen in gold, why have a huge payout for killing yourself? The whole reason the film exists is "what happens if future you gets away?"
Let's say you have present day hitmen a, b, and c but you need to kill future hitmen A, B, and C.
Send A to b, B to c and C to A. No big payout required and no need to retire past hitmen. It's a job like any other.
But like I say, the shotgun design kicks ass and the actors were great!
