Different Version

Rating: 4/10 (13 August 2017)

This score is for the version i just watched. I'm very confused. I just watched this with my girl after not seeing it for 15-20 years because i loved it the first time and i wanted her to see it because she likes films with twists etc. I am absolutely 100% that the version i originally saw had some flashback scenes which showed you C.R.S.s involvement with lots of the scenes to show it wasn't based on luck in regards to the moves he made. It revealed that pretty much whatever choices he made there was a plan for it. For instance it showed there were divers and people ready to save him if he didn't manage to get out of the taxi underwater and that there were safety balloons on all sides of the building etc. There absence from the cut i saw totally ruined it for me and especially my girl as it just made her say at the end "what if he'd done this, what if he'd done that" The cut i saw showed you exactly that. This cut version just makes it seem totally based on chance and therefore stupid and contrived. Someone please tell me i'm not going mad and they have seen this version i have. It's annoyed me so much i have had to write this. It's turned a film i loved into a load of nonsense.
