Video/Audio: Video looked great. Audio was great. 10/10
Editing: Overall really good editing here. No hard cuts. Good transitions. The only edit that seemed off for me was removing the fade out between Josh Brolin at the pool and the aftermath. The way you cut it seems a little bit jumpy and it’s not clear that time has passed. Otherwise, I couldn’t notice any editing flaws. 9/10
Entertainment: I’m a huge fan of the Coens. Other than “Intolerable Cruelty” and “The Ladykillers” all their films are perfect to me. I was really skeptical of this edit when I first read about it, but you did an excellent job.
Positives: I absolutely loved what you did with the ending. The last shot of the edit is beautiful! Likewise, the way that Chigurh is introduced now is fantastic. The majority of cuts were not missed at all.
Negatives: The final scene with Sheriff Bell and Uncle Ellis seems a little out of place in this edit. I would have been satisfied with the Sheriff’s last scene in the motel room, or at least trimming down the Uncle Ellis scene a lot more. Next, removing the scene of Carson finding the hidden money creates a bit of a plot hole. After Lleweyln throws the money into the brush it becomes very unclear (at least to me) what happened to it.
Overall entertainment: 7/10 (original is 10/10)
Presentation: Really nice looking menus and enjoyed the trailer. 10/10
Overall rating: 8/10
