What is it that Looper does wrong? There's some kind of tone problem. Is it the lead actors? The combined cognitive noise of time travel's complexity and attempts to distract from its absurdity? The moment where Willis literally yells down objections to it was pretty funny.

The central metaphor was neat. But something goes wandering off.

Killing your own future self was another strong metaphor though.
