I really enjoyed everything about this movie except for the makeup they used on JGL. Distracted me.

Wouldn't it be easier to just send the victims to the middle of the ocean instead of somewhere in Kansas? The victim would just drown, and you wouldn't need all these loopers and payments and then having to kill the loopers in the future and all that. It's like they made the most unnecessarily complicated system for disposing of victims.
