Why not include the murder/abduction that started it all in the film ?


Just looking at the deleted scenes, and the scenes with the killers drinking and new engineer and his wife makes a lot more sense of the whole film.

They thought the story would have been to slow to be established with it included. I disagree, given that it's action, and giving us a much better idea of the reason for the lawman's visit.

I thought they should have included the part of the deleted scene when Cole and Everett say that they realize why the Shelton brothers are in town.

Without that in the movie, in makes them seem that they are oblivious to that fact.

It was explained in dialog. No need to show it.
