Review Detail

When I went to see this movie in theaters I was pumped! However, I left the theater sorely disappointed! The movie had too many "Oh come on, no one would do that!" moments, as well as the phrase "Evil dies tonight" being repeated too much! What Ryan did genuinely made this movie much more bearable. If I am not mistaken, the "Evil dies tonight" phrase was said 4 times with his cut, 3 of which were back to back from the mob, which made it seem like the phrase was really used only twice. That right there is an awesome change! He also cut the Big John, Little John search/death which I found very tasteful, as I hated the "Michael, you've come home" line. When I seen the original movie, I knew it would be gory, which I was cool with, but when I seen it, I thought "Ya know, this is maybe a little overkill with the gore", to which Ryan tamed some of it down in a way that didn't take from any scene, but still made sure you didn't feel as though you were just watching a new age gore-porn slasher. I give his edits a 10/10. They made the movie better for sure. That being said, I would love to cut out the entire hospital chase, but it could affect aspects of the story. The movie itself just isn't good, but Ryan did a great job at making it so much more tolerable!
