 Worst Director's Cut Ever! July 15, 2008
Robert Bowden (Las Vegas, NV USA)

I loved the original theatrical release. I picked up this blu-ray figuring I would watch this over and over. I WILL NOT! Absolutely the worst "Director's Cut" ever. They completely changed the story line and eliminated several characters. The new version is awful! DO NOT BUY THIS BLU-RAY!!
 This is far better then the un"Director's cut". May 17, 2008

This version of the film over the "Directors cut" is like talking about some idiot doing a Directors cut of Indiana Jones. The first one is far, far better then some ego manic, (Helgeland and Gibson) trying to pull a movie out of the water because they thought it may be a mar on their Resume. br / br /The new DC is bad, and when I say Bad, I honestly mean, horrid! It is disjointed, there is little if any character development, let alone story line. All in all the Directors Cut is a Waste of your Money and Time. It isn't even worth the time you may spend watching it, because if you never saw the first one, you'll just sit there and scratch your head and wonder how this was ever released! br / br /With all of the good things I have to say about the DC version, the original version is everything the opposite! The first one is dark, scary, and shows a side of old Mel that no one expects. Honestly, his first real stretch as a character. It is a decent movie, not great, but worth owning, and seeing! br / br /If you are like me you get sick of seeing all of this Hollywood monkey men play the same role year after year; Mel, Tom Hanks, etc....Only to have them do a conceptually interesting movie and have Hollywood shoot it down, because America didn't accept it! br / br /At least guys like Bruce Willis and Johnny Depp continue to take stretches in their roles, and interestingly enough, they continue to pay off. So if you want Vanilla, you know where it is, but if you want yours crunchy, look around, you'll find it! br / br /All in all, Buy the first Version, not the Directors cut, at least with the first version, you will get to see what H-Wood could do, if they didn't try to pander to the masses. br / br /Oh and by the way, the Directors cut gets a solid 1 Star rating. br /
Director Got It Right The First Time March 25, 2008
Venizen (Venice CA)
There are two versions of this film, the original, and the newly-released 'Director's Cut.' If you saw this movie before, in the theatre or on cable, and want it for your own, DO NOT BUY the Director's Cut. The plot is completely different, ends abruptly, and does not create the Porter character that was in the original. Kris Kristofferson, the boxing match, the kid in the limo, the toes, the blown-up apartment...none of that's in it. Here, the money arrives at a subway station in a back-pack, and Porter has a shoot-out with a twenty-something chick that had the voice of Kathleen Turner on an earlier phone call with Devane's character, when Porter 'meets' with him. That meeting is where it really runs off the rails. br /Best Buy has pulled the original, not even listed in their stock anymore. Get the good version before all that's left is the second, anemic, 'Director's Cut' version.
 Completely superfluous January 2, 2008

Okay, so I made a mistake. br / br /I wanted a not so expensive blu-ray disc to test my PS3 capability. And since Payback is quite an excellent movie, I thought I'd try this one. Wrong. br / br /This version is not better than the previous one. Its inserts make the main character slightly less likable. The ending sucks. And the format is not 16:9, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of up-scaling (since that apparently leads to down-sizing). br / br /Big mistake.
This Version Is Not Good December 27, 2007

They destroyed the 1999 version, which is much better. I but director's cut thinking that I would get more, but I got less, it is like 11 minutes of less movies and change characters and removed interesting scenes.
