The lack of a narrative, for one.

I think that's what made the movie so real, and made you believe in
Harrison's character. You got to hear what he was thinking (Hey, and I like
that :) ). And, he explained a lot of thing that many people would not
understand otherwise...

The Director's Cut removed all that, and I know certain people who saw it
before they saw the original, and said "This movie is fucked up... ". I
dunno... the Director's Cut lost that touch that made BR special, and the
ending is WAY too philosophical for me...

Anyways, it's still good, mind you. If you haven't seen it, you're missing
out on the definite vision for what Shadowrun should be (I mean, come on,
the main Tyrell Corp building has Renraku Arcology written all over it, or
should that be the opposite? :) )
