This is an interesting premise and it was well executed. The original film’s editing and story just do not work at all, this version sure is one way to fix it.
The ending is weird but it kinda works.

As Darth would say, impressive. Quite the distillation of "Spectre," tossing the Mexico opening into the mixer with some later scenes used as a flashback. At least that's how I view it.
Video - 1280 X 538p AVC. Really nice editing here. Cutting is crisp and effectively pushes the story.
Audio - 353 kbps, 2 Channel AAC. No subs (OK, this being a short). Dialogue is understandable, there are no abrupt music transitions. There does not seem to be a sweeping dynamic range, so I don't know if there was compression involved. For a short, again this is a shrewd decision.
Narrative - This functions more as a single Bond mission, with events leading up to it and the aftermath. The story remains coherent, though character motivations are missing as are the villains’.
Enjoyment - Ending is a blunt, though to be honest, this would make an excellent break if the editor ever decided to craft a cliffhanger serial. That said, I did enjoy watching this, and was surprised by the turns and choices made by the editor.

It's a lot better than the original, but unlike the original, this is 17 minutes long, which makes me sad. Would love to see the rest.

A brilliantly compiled story from a let’s just say, messy movie that is Spectre. The editing is great, doesn’t look out of place for the majority. This subplot has been turned into a fantastic and focused story. The music is also fitting and spat on.
Well done, Problem Eliminator. :)

A splendid edit and a great little story extracted from the otherwise muddled Spectre.
