Query: Not as good as the theatrical release

For anyone who has seen the theatrical release of this movie, I expect this would be a real let-down. There were a lot of disappointing differences in this director's cut. The audio has changed. The gray filter on the visuals is gone. Porter's film noir voice-over is gone. The "third act" is completely different. The dog doesn't live. Those were all things I loved about the theatrical version. The original ending is very weak. I feel sorry that Helgeland's art originally got hijacked so execs could make more money off of it, but at the same time, I'm happy that it was made into a better movie for it. !!SPOILER !! SPOILER !! Helgeland's third act makes no sense at all anyway. Why would you send ten or so people to kill Porter where he asks for the money to be sent if you were going to give him the money? Why would you send the money if you were going to have him killed? Does that make any sense at all?
