it comes across with that unfinished or satisfied good or bad – i also found the vocal was too low in many cases and had to keep replaying certain parts to hear what they were saying – why didnt the buddy system end when thomas kept warning him – that i didnt find plausable – if it was in the country – but mexico – i think that possibility would have stopped anyone – understandable the love he felt for the daughter was consuming – he couldnt see she was egging him on – where was her mother – too many loose ends in this movie

I had a chance to work on the movie, and was on set everyday. I was so excited to see the final product, and was shocked at the outcome. That wasn't the movie we made – not even close. It was totally butchered, and was a complete let-down compared to what it could have been. Before the final release, Oprah devoted an entire episode to the movie with the cast and crew. Very disheartening, but I would love to see the original cut.

I'd also do just about anything to see the original cut of this movie. Truth be told, I really do love the theatrical version, and think it gets a bad rap, but hearing all this about the original version from Damon makes me want it even more. And thanks for chiming in, Mark. Good to hear from someone not involved with the film who's seen it.

Granted, it still misses the tone of the film, but the original Mazzy Star / U2 version of the trailer was so much better, in a late-'90s / early-'2000s kind of way… http://youtu.be/I3kGc2zD6SM

Saw the original cut of the movie here in Austin as a test audience…and it was amazing…from the photography to the acting to the score..and if I remember right, it was right around four hours..but it never felt like it…all i put on my comment card was "don't let them change a goddamned thing.." but knew they wouldn't have the coruage to back Billy Bob up…It's sad really..people missed out on a really well made film…I've always hoped for a re-release of the "real" film..

That's a fucking funny trailer. Compare that to The Road or No Country for Old Men. They obviously had no idea how to market Cormac McCarthy back then. Looks like a CW pilot.
