I've never liked this film, though it has great interest to me as a film buff. I hated the Ford voice-over, but despised the film without it.
As mousepod pointed out, it's a noirish touch that fits the movie ... but I don't think it was handled particularly well.
I've never seen the International Cut ... and I'd like to see this umpteenth version as a curiousity. I'm much more likely to see it in its limited theatrical release than to buy the disk.
The DVD intrigues me, though. Examinng multiple versions of the same film can be fascinating (e.g., Brazil) ... but if one of those versions is created 25 years later especially for DVD, I tend not to consider authentic.
