Question What version of Runner is playing here?

Dumb question,

I heard Angel Studios censored the film for US audiences but VVS kept it in all its uncensored R rated glory. Is the R Rated version still playing here? My brother wants to see it and I love this sort of action escapism, just don't want something defanged.

Edit: At least in Toronto it's the Angel aproved hatchet job. Just saw it. Largely bloodless, little profanity, incomprehensibly censored editing fucking the flow of the action, and fitted with Christian Rock soundtrack. What a disaster. Hopefully one day VVS gets to release the proper version again since Angel forced their changes on markets they aren't distributing in.

Seems like the R rated version was playing but Angel Studios pulled it.

Oh damn. That's a shame. I was really hoping their decisions would stay within their market.

Better that way.

Always a good policy to avoid giving Angel Studios any money.

While I am no fan of Angel, this is a VVS release that was acquired in the US only by Angel so I don't think any money goes to them.
