The first European release was faulty (green patches, pixelblockings etc)

A fixed version was silently released but some stores may have left over copies of the first release as it wasn't recalled.

He should be able to contact MGM for a fixed replacement.

What do people have against Ronin? I thought it was excellent.

I agree with Hutch. I htink it is one of Frankenheimers best. AND I believe it has some of the best car chase sequences ever as well for any film, INCLUDING Matrix Reloaded.
