Looper: 20 Mistakes Rian Johnson Should Have Avoided

10. Love In A Time of Crisis

Alright, listen I know films have this thing with accelerated romances, it was meant to be, they were made for each other, they're kindred spirits etc. Action movies exaggerate this idea even further and that is very much the case here with Sara and Young Joe. Just the other day she wouldn't trust him being within 10ft of her son. He nor she really don't seem that interested in anything romantic, it's just waiting for Old-Joe to show and close the loop for him. And yet they are suddenly making-out together. It was an unnecessary development that felt tacked-on, as he would've protected her and her son regardless of stronger feelings.
