Review Detail

Bravo to The Scribbling Man for taking a stab at this. I've never quite understood this movie's all-time classic status, though I appreciate the film for what it is. Does it need the VO from the main character? I didn't think that was up for debate, but The Scribbling Man has made a strong case against it here. His edit works surprisingly well without it. It's a different take, mainly because you don't know the fate of the main character from the start now. On a technical level, audio and visual editing are really well done. I'd be really curious to hear from someone who watched this version first and then saw the original.

Maybe not The Scribbling Man's most essential edit, but a really interesting experiment with surprisingly satisfying results. Anyone who's a fan of the original should give this a watch.
