Review Detail

For a "sacrilegious" edit of Blade Runner, "Good Guy Deckard" is quite possibly the best version of the film to date. Every edit serves to streamline the pacing without sacrificing the atmosphere or story and improve the characters substantially. Deckard still remains a flawed human being (emphasis on human being and not Replicant), but is ultimately a "good guy" and not a rapist, which in turn improves his dynamic with Rachael and his overall character arc. The removal of the mentions of the offscreen murders made the Replicants a lot more sympathetic.

Highly recommended and my go-to version of Blade Runner from now on!
