After Snyder's Justice League's cut and James Gunn's 2021's take I just had to re-watch the 2016 movie. All I can say is the 2016 piece certainly did take another turn after the 2021 film - for worse, for sure. Ayer's narrative that the studio chopped off his cut just doens't cut (no pun intended) anymore. We don't need an Ayer's cut for this film. It's just better off that this just bad movie remains untouched. Not that Gunn's version is an incredible movie (I don't think so). Guun's is just a regular action movie with good aesthetics whereas Ayer's is a very bad action movie with very bad aesthetics. But the development of the characters is just the worst.

I have watched all but one of Berger's films (2015's 'Mariposa'). I really liked 'Plan B' and 'Hawaii' both which count on very good perfomances of their lead actors, specially Manuel Vignau. 'Absent' and 'Taekwondo' are not as good as these I first mentioned, but are okay. 'The Blond One', however, is just a bad one. After watching 'Young Hunter' I now just think that Berger might be becoming self indulgent. His formulas are just becoming too repetitive whereas his actors are becoming less and less charimastic. If you're gonna play a 'thriller-like' take like this one you simply need good acting or else your movie is just gonna feel souless. The writing here is just not very good either. It feems like he had a bunch of shots in his mind but didn't know how to connect them or where to take the history afterwards. Juan Pablo Cestaro looks like he doesn't know what to do with his character. The tension the film tried to build up is artificial.
