Original release (10/10), don't watch the director's cut (6/10). :(.

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2008)

Apparently Richard Kelly feels that nobody can handle a little complexity, or ambiguity. I personally enjoyed not being 100% sure what to believe. I didn't mind the additional information from playing the truly unique hunt-n-click game on the official websites (yes he even gave us fake newspaper websites), but the director's cut is like being hit over the head with a sledgehammer. It's clunky and all too well spelled out. A blind baboon with dyslexia could follow it. Truly credit must be given to Sam Bauer and Eric Strand (editors) who valiantly cut out enough of Kelly's idiocy to make him look brilliant. Lets hear a cheer for the REAL filmmakers: Sam Bauer and Eric Strand!
