I accidentally stumbled onto the Directors cut as I was wanting to rewatch the movie. I didn't realize that it wasn't in addition to the original, but a straight up reshoot of the ending. While, it is a very gritty version, and does stay true to the characters. The theatrical version in my opinion was just more entertaining. The difference between the two movies time wise is only about 12 to 15 minutes. But somehow the movie feels much too short and doesn't have the same sort of closure that the original does. The directors cut just sort of ends. Could be a more realistic version, but compared to the two the theatrical version is just more fun.
