Brief Synopsis:
This is Tarantino's adaptation of Rum Punch with some changes to narrative and a fresh take on the music
Intention:
I have a love-hate relationship with this movie. Not the best Tarantino but far from boring. I love Robert Forster’s character and think the movie should have given him a more important part. Four key elements:
-Bringing forward Robert Forster’s character, to reframe the narrative
-Reordering the scenes to build one chronological heist montage
-Trimming and recutting scenes to lower the runtime of the movie
-Adding new music

The cuts were seamless and I really felt like they told a different story, just by moving different parts around. I went back and watched the original movie to see what was missing and what went where and I was surprised by how much fluff there was, and how easy a lot of the movie was to remove without changing the story too much. Very impressive vision, and well executed!
As much as I hate to say it because I really like De Niro, cutting back on Louis throughout was a smart move. While I appreciate his character, it felt like his entire arc was "show up, get high, shoot someone, get shot." Much tighter results here and I'm really happy with how he plays out.
The new soundtrack is really cool, really well done, and it gives the movie a more modern feeling. It almost made me feel like it was set in 2015 instead of 1995 (especially the Adele at the end). Even if you prefer the 70's feel of the original, these are some fun choices!

A fresh, streamlined take on Tarantino's Jackie Brown.
Full disclosure: I was involved in the review and approval process for this edit.
AUDIO/VIDEO
I watched the larger 10GB file. To my eyes, the image matches the bluray very well. Focus is soft and the blacks are somewhat challenged in the early bar scene, but this is true of the original as well. I've skimmed the smaller 3GB file and it presents very fair compromise for those who want something smaller.
VISUAL EDITING
The cuts are seamless, and the bespoke title card is integrated very well.
AUDIO EDITING
The edit features new music in several pivotal scenes. While it doesn't match the original's style, it is nonetheless effective, and becomes even more so on repeat viewings. The added/replaced SFX are effective and generally not noticed (good!).
NARRATIVE
The editor has done some interesting things with the titular "Del Amo Heist". While I'm on the fence about whether the rejig is more effective than the original, I will say the results fully achieve the editor's goal.
The removal of some superfluous scenes with with Louis are very much appreciated, though I found myself missing a key early scene with Ordell and Beaumont.
ENJOYMENT
Jackie Brown is among my favourites of Tarantino's work and I really enjoyed this two hour take on it.

this is the first fan edit i watch of a movie that i absolutley love. i think the editor did a great a job - making a more straightforward heist move. But - to me it felt like stuff was missing and to be fair it is probably because i am such a fan of the orginal. if i had seen this movie instead of the original first i might have a different opinion. anyway this is my favorite quentin film and i really loved watching this fan edit. also i noticed that i paid more attention to certain things because it was so different so that was kinda cool .
