Yeah, Robert Longo is principally an artist (drawing, background in sculpture) who did a couple music videos. He probably would have made a great indie film but there was no way he had the "pull" to hold on to his and Gibson's vision against the studio's wishes. This could have been a decent blockbuster-style movie in the Matrix / Blade Runner vein, in the hands of a director with those skills who wanted it that way. This is a case study: the studio should have either let Longo and GIbson do their art film for a smaller budget (my preference!) or they should have just given it to a new director.
It'll be interesting to see what's possible with the next generation of AI video editing tools. With the original sources, and enough compute power, they'll probably be able to edit the acting too.
