    If you watch this, it MUST be the directors cut. The theatrical release was a bad cut and why the movie didn’t go over well. The DC adds a little more context and explanation so it’s not so vague.

      Ooo I didn’t watch the director’s cut. I enjoyed the theatrical release regardless. Definitely going to check it out. Thanks!

        Watch the DC and give it another try. I’d honestly say in most cases the DC is a money grab, but this and Superman II Richard Donner Cut are two of the best examples of a DC making a difference

    Inception and to a lesser extent The Matrix owe a debt or at least pay homage to this movie. Also The Crow was made by the same guy and has a lot of the same cinematography elements if for some reason you haven’t seen it yet and enjoyed the look of this one.

    One of Roger Eberts favorite movies. He did a commentary track on the DVD that was just as great as the film itself.
