Under Construction

Keeping the focus on Bill really maximizes his journey. Great edit. I agree with zeppelinrox’s comments regarding social commentary – it stands out even more presented in this manner.

While I enjoyed the focus on Michael Douglas, too much of Robert Duvall was edited out, making his sudden appearance at the end scene feel completely out of context. I appreciate the edit, but perhaps it was too much.

This is quite a radical edit in that Duvall's character only appears at the beginning and end of the film. The entire investigation into D-Fens is ignored which I can understand to provide an alternate viewing experience. As a by product the removal of Duvall's scenes means D-FENS moves around L.A at a frenetic rate, enjoyable (if a little fast paced for me). Editing was smoothly handled as far as i could tell from a casual watch, well worth a view for the uniniated as a streamlined version of a cracking flick. I would probably have interspersed a little more of the investigation into D-Fens into it personally but then I guess you end up with something very similar to the original movie which negates the need to edit in the first place Nice job Adabisi!
