Criterion sorted that out it was one of their first Blu-rays.

I changed my mind I give sorcerer 6/10 now.

I really want to see it with all the 16 minutes footage re-inserted correctly and the extra music to see if it would work better (I think it would work much better TBH).

Each Prologue should have been separated by the characters name as a chapter header. I really think something as small as that would help it out a lot too. One of the main problems is they have different fake names when they get to Vera Cruz and it’s hard to follow who they were and who they are pretending to be now. This really does not help on a first viewing. I don’t know, all I know is that I could not grasp the names of the characters on a first viewing.

Having at least one name to cling to could be just the ticket. I also thought about the alternative as showing each characters fake passport before their prologues with their fake names and their mugshot.
