    This customer review refers to a alternative version.

    Sehr interessanter Film. Leider lassen genau wie bei der US-Version die Untertitel nicht ausblenden.
    Dieses Mal sind es jedoch die französischen Untertitel, die man während der englischen Dialog-Passagen nicht zum Verschwinden bringen kann.
    Bei der Code 1 Scheibe war verhält es sich gerade umgekehrt.
    Eine Version ganz ohne störende Untertitel wäre wünschenswert.
    Bild- und Tonqualität überzeugen.
