I'm going to pass on this release as I am content with the original. That cover art is hit too.

Anyways, it kinda gives a conclusion to her story (I assume she doesn't survive) so I like what they went with in the end...
BTW, thanks Bill for the voucher link. I went ahead and picked up the region 2 DVD for $9.95.

Just watched the R2 PAL DTS of Ronin last night....what a great flick. I had both the R2 Japan and the UK PAL and both of them sound great with DTS. PAL speedup wasn't too noticeable for me unlike some other R2 PAL discs. For under $10 shipped (I actually paid $6.95) it is a great deal and hard to pass up!

Got my copy today and since this is my first non-Region 1 DVD, wanted to test it in my player which worked beautifully... Not a bad deal for $10.
So thanks illennium for posting about it

Question: What was edited out of the region 2 release? I have the original region 1 which has the runtime at 121 minutes. The region 2 has it at 116. I haven't watched either in a while but I did put both in the dvd player, went to the end and indeed the region 2 is 5-minutes shorter...
Just curious to know if the missing time is any big (or noticable) deal.
