Editing don'ts
5 January 2019
Hey there, I usually like to keep reviews positive, but also need to keep integrity of my professional opinion. So, her goes.... I found this movie to have great acting and characters. But this movie is a lesson on how not to edit. many bad cuts that made me think my streaming was interrupted, but playing back realized it was fine. Many scenes did not do anything for the story, such as some classroom scenes. This 150 minute movie could have got the story across edited to less than 100. About 2/3 the way in, there is a minute pan shot of New York that ends up panning up to the sky. Why???? Don't understand why this waste of a minute was left in the movie, as it did nothing for the story. I have a feeling I watched a web directors cut, and not a theatrical release. Thank god I watch on a comp player that allows 1.5 times play back so I actually did watch this in under 100.
