This edit of Licence To Kill is pretty good. The opening sequence was impressively well placed which I find it better than the original film. The scene placement where Bond's vendetta begins with discovering Leiter's body actually fits more with the title "Licence Revoked." The edit is overall fast paced without lingering too much and with the removal of certain unnecessary scenes for example, lessening Bond constantly shooing away Pam and Q which I find annoying in the original film. The removal of Leiter phoning Bond happily in the hospital makes Bond's payoff more worth it as a fitting end of his vendetta. The only thing I would change is keep a few scenes that don't affect too much which in the edit led to some jump cuts. In the other hand, most other instances of jump cuts were at least okay. For fans who have trouble with the original film's plot, I recommend people to give this a watch since here it's more pleasing.
