[edit] Joan McLeod novel "The Ronin" as basis for movie

I've looked everywhere from Amazon and Alibris to the Library of Congress and Google, and the only mention I can find of the Joan McLeod novel is in reference to this movie - it simply does not exist in the book catalogs I checked. I am beginning to think that all of the references to this book being the uncredited source for the movie are derived from a single IMDB entry, and that that entry may be in error.

Can anyone confirm that there is a novel called 'The Ronin' by McLeod that came out before this movie? Perhaps it was a foreign language title that was cited in an English-language interview with the director, and either the title or the author name got mangled in the process? --Zippy 23:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

• If you get the Criterion Collection [1] DVD release of it, maybe it'll be there. I have no idea, still. --h_a 11:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Review

This article reads more like a movie review or an essay from a film class than an encyclopedic entry. Lack of citations and phrasing such as "three or so" only compound the problem. This really needs change. Aaeamdar (talk) 02:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
