Censorship in the airport scene?


When Dickman meets the second bad guy at the airport, he punches him in the face. It then cuts to the sound of an iron bar falling, and the bad guy is inside the construction site with a gun in his hand and blood on his face. The only explanation for this illogical cut is that something was excised. Presumably some action with an iron bar?

I was also confused! Good, I'm not the only one! It took me a moment to fill in the gap and realize what had happened.

I'm guessing that it was just bad editing. I felt that Finn scene should've received a few more seconds to better help the viewer understand what had happened. It wasn't quite as smooth and logical as a previous sequence where Dickman hears his wife scream, sees her crying at the window and then cut to him driving feverishly - we could make the logical leap ourselves (that his wife clearly told him about their son's death and then he decides to embark on a maniacal revenge killing spree). But then a few minutes later we see him fiddling with a rifle and some guy is beaten & bruised a few meters away. It wasn't quite as smooth and should've been better edited. IMHO.

Censorship? Bad editing???

That scene was perfect! You know what happened in the meantime -- no need to spell it out visually.

Some people are that slow.

It's just editting I guess.
I too felt it jumped a minute or so worth of action but eh, it is what it is.
