Now, I know this isn't my usual kind of thing that i post about but it really does get to me when time travel is misconstrued. (May contain spoilers... in fact... there are spoilers... so... **SPOILERS**)
In the film the main characters future self gets sent back in time to be killed by himself, Thus freeing the main character and creating a Self Exterminating Loop. The future version escapes and embarks on the task of killing a child who would grow to become the 'Rainmaker', a cruel head of mafia in the future, in the hopes that this will spare the life of his future wife that is murdered on the order to close the loop (sending Bruce Willis' character back in time). In order to prevent himself from killing his now love interest and causing the rainmaker to become yet more vindictive, he decides to shoot himself (i mean his actual self not his future self... keep up). This removes his future self from coming back in time... the only issue i see here is that, NO, this would actually void the entire film up to the point that the future version of himself gets sent back and in turn would cause every single event of the film to happen all over again, either that or it would tear a massive hole in the time-space continuum due to an massive un-repairable paradox. so this leaves me with no choice but to say a famous quote about time... WIBBLY WOBBLY TIME-Y WHIMEY.
