Well see, the original cut is always good. It's only after the studio comes in and starts meddling with the film, trying to make it SO MAINSTREAM, that it sucks.
This is the only reason why movies are ever bad.
I've read about how the studio interfered, made reshoots, shot new scenes and cut the movie to give Keanu the lead over Hiroyuki Sanada's Oishi (IMO he's a very underrated actor) so as to make it more popular.
Unfortunately like most studio meddlings, they completely screwed this one up and did more harm than if they'd left it intact.
I watched for Rinko and her sexy ass. Nothing more.

I remember he made a short about a robot that got everyone talking and people were saying he was Ridley Scott’s protege or something. At one point, he was even supposed to be working on an Alien prequel but I guess Ridley took over and turned it into Prometheus. Crazy how Netflix put so much trust in him despite him having one single movie on his resume that was made all the way back in 2013.Dig up this thread since the director (who got axed halfway through production) might get life in prison for swindling Netflix out of millions of dollars. It’s kinda funny looking at some of the early posts here and seeing how many people believed in this guy for some reason.

Oh my godAnd he didn’t even FINISH the movie! The studio took it away from him after he made it go wayyyyy over budget.
And oh yeah. It BOMBED.
Damn. It's crazy enough reading the articles further up, but I didn't know this. It makes the whole story even crazier.And he didn’t even FINISH the movie! The studio took it away from him after he made it go wayyyyy over budget.
