Title: It is about time, but way too expensive!
Review: I have for years been trying to get my hands on a DVD copy of the original 1982 cut as my VHS tape is worn out and it was a master. How anybody could like the Director's cut is beyond me. Give me the original movie. The Decker voice over to me gives it that film noir quality of an old Sam Spade movie. I wish that the 1982 version was released by itself, but now I have to fork over big bucks just to own the original in DVD. I have never read the book that the movie was based on as I could care less as I just like movies for my escapism and only read non-fiction. I could only give this a 4 stars as the price is too high and it includes the directors cut. I have never met anybody who likes that cut but reading the post here I guess there is just no accounting for taste. To each his own I guess. Can't wait to see the original on my big screen surround sound system.
Is the review positive or negative?
