Brief Synopsis:
Carlito's girlfriend Gail takes up a lot of screentime so I wanted to just keep the scenes that really needs to be there and cut the movie down for a better pace. To tell faster more streamlined story.
Intention:
To make a faster and better paced version with less Gail. Carlito's girlfriend Gail is still apart of the story but the scenes with her are reduced to a minimal.
Other Sources:
Stock footage of New York

Enjoyed watching this edit.. Sets out to achieve what it wants - that is the whole movie without the flab of romantic subplot in the first half .
Still think the ending doesnt hit as hard as it should because that whole subplot of carlito and gail has been majorly edited , maybe the better choice would be to retain those earlier scenes but to edit them instead of omitting them completely.
Minor issue aside, the edit improves upon the original release which dragged in places and thus provides an engaging and enjoyable experience.

I think jamiemark's review sums up my feeling on watching this edit. It's another where I can't imagine how it will turn out, (almost like I expect it to fail), yet it turns out brilliant. Thanks for this.

I enjoyed this edit alot. My eyes and ears didn't pick up on any audio or video faults/glitches. I was wondering if the exclusion of a certain scene would ruin the overall narrative, but as it turns out it wasn't needed. I didn't miss what was removed from the film, it helps events move along at a more steady pace. Recommended.
