This movie does have some good action sequences, though I found the car chases to be slow and boring. It is thoroughly exciting, though I was annoyed by the amount of anticlimactic twists. Near the end, the entirety of the movie changes meaning drastically. You should be able to make a good suspenseful ending without that amount of twists. Jean Reno and Robert De Niro both play their roles to perfection, and most of the other actors play convincingly too. The script is interesting, and not too confusing. I think pretty much every big fan of spy action films should watch it at least once. It is pretty good, at least action wise. It contains some nice, non-Hollywood like shootouts. Nothing that rivals the likes of Heat, but pretty good nonetheless. This is a movie that can be viewed by most action fans, and it will be very enjoyable to De Niro fans. Spy action fans will most likely enjoy at least some parts of the movie, though I don't think this is the best the genre has to offer. 7/10

To cast so many great actors in a film such as this was a mistake from the start. This film has no beginning and a poor end. It leaves you in a daze as to who is friends with who and towards the climax of the film, we don't care what's in the box that everyone has been after.(but we don't find out just the same!). There are some clever recognisance techniques used and some very expensive car chases but this didn't make up for the lack of a good script. Next time eh?

I think this movie deserves no more than 6. An unusual De Niro movie for me, I mean I have watched all of his major movies , but this ? Well I am not sure, too easy character for a star like Rober De Niro. You will see very usual things like gun shooting , car chasing etc, there's nothing more interesting. But still not bad .

"Ronin" is a boring movie without any plot or tension. This film, which was directed by John Frankenheimer, who was a good director till "DNA", tries to suggest tension by showing us sequences of action. But John Frankenheimer is not able to control the actors, actress and the action. He uses and needs the action in order to support the plot, because the plot is not able to stand alone on screen. However the action sequences are well done, and you can see the big budget for the sequences. But all actors play their roles without emotions and moreover you must listen Niro´s stupid dictums, but he has no chance, because the writer of the screenplay gave him these dictums. MARKING: * (******)

Now this is what an episode of The A-Team could be like if it was geared for adults. With lots of bloody shoot-outs and some incredible chase scenes that rival the famed "The French Connection" one, this movie is slam-bang full of suspense and action. Set in the French Riviera (finally, a movie set in St. Tropez and Nice without any topless beach scenes) and with an international cast led by Robert DeNiro and Frenchman Jean Reno, the story involves a group of the best hitmen in the world hired by an mysterious Irish woman named Deidre (Natasha McElhone) to retrieve a briefcase for them. The men form an unholy alliance despite not knowing each other, sometimes even knowing each other from past conflicts, to retrieve the briefcase which contains something that other underground groups want. With violence, double-crosses, and the eventual trust of two of the characters, the movie explodes in a superb climax. A good suspense film with fine acting and great action. Definitely worth a look.

Not quite sure why this film was made, unless to make Michael Winner films look cleverly shot and masterfully directed in comparison. The film has its share of attractive locations, however the director succeeds in turning each & every one of them into a backdrop for his snapshot-quality cinematography. As for the acting? Well, my theory is that the film crew came across De Niro whilst on his hols, secretly filmed him and spliced in his performance to spice up an otherwise dull corporate training video for Securicor. Jonathan Pryce proves once again that he missed his vocation on the dole queue with an atrocious Narthern Oirlend accent. Not worth the popcorn - move on.

When I went to see this movie I had a lot of candy I'd gotten from the bulk barn. I was enjoying myself watching the movie but it turns out that was only the candy and when that ran out halfway through it really stated to hurt. What a stupid movie. Boom boom! How about a plot guys. Maybe some dialog. Maybe some good action. What a bad movie. Pure garbage. Total crap. I'd rather have someone hit me in the crotch with a baseball bat again and again and again. Take Mission Impossible, take all the nice style, cool effects, whity lines and neat technology out of it. What's left? Ronin.

I must say I loved this movie for various reasons. First off, great actors like De Niro and Jean Reno. Secondly I liked the different settings Paris, Nice and Arles with its wonderful Roman arena, all of them gorgeous. The car chasing among the small streets of Arles was just amazing. Plus, the continuous coupes de théatre during the entire movie were compelling and gripping. The plot was simple and plain but it's not a flaw in a movie which revolves around action. It won't be remembered in the history of cinema, but I can say that it's one of my favorite movies because it has all the elements I just mentioned, well developed, all together.

This movie put me in the seat as an investigator trying to figure out where this cryptic movie was going. In my opinion, great entertainment is a movie that keeps the audience wondering where a movie is going as it unfolds. Ronin seemed to be almost in real time, that kept me on the edge following it. I could not take my eyes off the screen. This was another movie displaying espionage at it's finest.

A bit cliche, but great action, lots of smouldering confident character acting from De Niro played against Jean Reno who has a really good role and plays it really well. The plot twists and turns and although a bit predictable, is very watchable. I hadnt been looking forward to it, but thoroughly enjoyed the old-fashioned ganster style movie....without giving anything away ;-)
