Carlito's way without Gail!
Does it really work?
I will have to say "yes" but the story doesn't have the same impact without her,
especially at the end of the film at the train station.

The ending in this version is really short and sudden and that's where I feel we're missing scenes.

So story wise it works but some scenes feels rushed and a few minor audio transitions could be smoother but is not a big deal.

The interrogation scene with both Charlie and Gail at the office must be a nightmare to edit and the same shots appeared for a few times either zooming in or zooming out.
It's not an easy task to get that scene smooth and I think you did a great work with it.

The edit is not in HD and there was some small render glitches so it's an 8 for me in quality.
Audio in 5.1 448kbps is fine.

As I said without the love story the ending is a little weaker and sudden than the original but the edit has a higher and better pace so it's getting a 9 in enjoyment.

Highly recommended!

Another pleasant surprise.

in my mind this edit should not work BUT it does....

It is was breath of fresh air to not have Carlo Brigante saddled with the love story and it plays extraordinary well. The trims are well judged and for the most part seamless. The narrative does feel a touch rushed in a few places butthe new focus works well despit this..

I do think that the post seequence of removed scene to illustrate some of what was removed was very ill judged indeed...but I am not deducting any points for that...just an observation...and if this was submitted today, I think it would have to have an end credit roll, but again, just an observation...no deductions.

Excellent and Recommended to those who want concentrated Pacino without fluff.

I always thought the Gail moments were really stomach churningly awful, the slow motion zooms and shmoltzy music made me puke, and put a real halt to one of the top 5 dead or alive gangster films ever. I'd like to thank the editor for making a dream come true. The pace is relentless, keeps the adrenaline pumping the whole time, really well done. Great choice for a title too. One minor detail which was unavoidable but mentioning anyway, is at the end Luis Guzman turns up for no reason with Benny Blanco, its the only time when the new edit didnt make sense, which is very rare for a fan edit to be so solid the whole way through, this one tiny detail didnt really effect how much I loved this cut.
Some glitches, no big deal, would like to see HD version. Liked how he said he cut 55 minutes out, I really didn't realise as it feels like an entire film, and liked how he added the cuts at the end (I didn't watch cuz it would have killed the buzz I got from the new edit, but good idea.)
This edit is BIG TIME!
