First one was better as it usually goes. Sequence of events at the start of the movie were in and out of what should be even at the end and mid sections of a typical movie.
I noticed besides the above, a lack of potential in the actors in the film. Almost as if the director was fine with a scene that is good enough, in both the actors attempts and screenplay / camera angles. The camera angle, some were ridiculous as were sequences leading to and after some shots.
Parts of the writing were well done, but most of it was not well delivered. There was a mix of different language used to express or emphasize the time that this story took place, this was all over the place and went in and out of this feeling through connotation and the actors delivery, which once again wasn't always well done.
