They removed the scene that explains why Carver wants Gideon dead, imo it didn't add anything we already knew that Carver wanted revenge, knowing why didn't really add anything. I also found the scene broke with the flow of the rest of the movie and was very stereotypical with the silent scream and cutting back and forth between carver and his wife. But that is just me, Discuss.

I liked the scene by itself but it didn't fit with the simple forward-motion of the rest of the film. But I guess it would have been too daring to do that to the structure of the movie. I wish they had, though, or at least had Carver just say what had happened, instead of showing it, and then we see it play out on both their faces. The Angelica Houston character would have fit in better, too, without the flashback interrupting everything.
Pity the insomniac dyslexic agnostic. He loses sleep wondering if there really is a dog.
I don't know...I think it was a necessary scene; many viewers weren't sure which character was "good" and which character was "bad" and those same viewers needed to be told who they should support. I think it was put in a bad place in the film (I think it should have been earlier) but then it would not have added the unnecessary "twist" element the filmmakers were probably after. Also, I don't like how it played out. In my opinion, this was probably a re-shoot that was done after the final edit didn't explain things enough. Overall, I think the "why" behind the scene is okay...just not the "how" or "when".
