Customer Reviews of Ronin
One of the greatest action films of all time If you like action, this movie has it all. Great car chases, nice action sequences, and an intelligent plot. The details are purposefully vague (what is in the suitcase?? why do the Russians want it?? why do the Irish want it??), but certain points are left unexplained to convey the mercenary feeling. The movie is definitely classy, with a pleasant European atmosphere to it. John Frankenhemier did a great job of making a smart movie. It is heavy on action, but smart enough that it cannot be categorized with braincell-lite action movies. Top-notch acting, especially from De Niro and Jean Reno. They were both very likable and intelligent characters, but were not afraid to get their hands dirty (especially De Niro). Sean Bean also was very good as the clueless chump. And if you like car chases, this is the movie for you. Where else can you see fast European cars speeding down the opposite side of the highway (or whatever they call it in Europe)? Also, the action was very believable. I especially enjoyed how they used a wide variety of modern-day weapons and gadgets to achieve their objectives (where can I get a traffic light changer?). All in all, one of my favorite movies. Even if you don't like action movies, you'll find yourself rooting for Robert De Niro in this great flick.
Enjoyable spy story and excellent action
Ronin doesn't break any new ground, but it does its business very well. Robert De Niro plays a retired-spy-turned-mercenary with a fairly typical De Niro performance, but it's still enjoyable to watch him act, especially with a group of supporting players as dynamic as Jean Reno, Sean Bean, and the rest. The plot is kept rather obscure, but the plot itself isn't nearly so important as the machinations the characters go through. The writing clearly bears the stamp of David Mamet, but at least it's his quality side rather than his pretentious side. The action set-pieces are always competent and reach spectacular levels in the car-chase scenes. The DVD extras are just fine for a budget title, as director John Frankenheimer provides low-key commentary on the movie and on a deleted alternate ending of little consequence.
meh
this was kind of dissapointing, but i had pretty high expectations. it didn't really do anything wrong, but dispite a lot of action, it wasn't the most interesting movie.
