Carlito's Way: Escape to paradise

[Dawnrazor]

This edit is a faster paced version of Carlito's Way.
current running time is 98 min (103 with end credits)
Original running time 144 min.

Gail is still in this version but her screen time is reduced a lot.
I haven't seen the @Adabisi edit "the last of the Mo'Ricans" who removes all scenes of Gail.
But I want to keep her in my version and still have a great pace.


-the court scene is gone (film starts at the club with Carlito and Kleinfeld celebrate and dancing)
-most scenes with Gail is gone but have kept when Carlito seeks her out and they meet a bar (trimmed)
-after that bar scene they're a couple again and all love scenes are gone.
- Lalin scenes (Viggo Mortensen) are gone (they're good but the story works without it so it had to go)


This clip crossfades from the bar on to the boat
