    Product Description
    A FREELANCING FORMER US INTELLIGENCE AGENT TRIES TO TRACK DOWN AMYSTERIOUS PACKAGE THAT IS WANTED BY BOTH THE IRISH AND THE RUSSIANS.

    Amazon.com essential video
    Robert De Niro stars as an American intelligence operative adrift in irrelevance since the end of the Cold War--much like a masterless samurai, a.k.a. "ronin." With his services for sale, he joins a renegade, international team of fellow covert warriors with nothing but time on their hands. Their mission, as defined by the woman who hires them (Natascha McElhone), is to get hold of a particular suitcase that is equally coveted by the Russian mafia and Irish terrorists. As the scheme gets underway, De Niro's lone wolf strikes up a rare friendship with his French counterpart (Jean Reno), gets into a more-or-less romantic frame of mind with McElhone, and asserts his experience on the planning and execution of the job--going so far as to publicly humiliate one team member (Sean Bean) who is clearly out of his league. The story is largely unremarkable--there's an obligatory twist midway through that changes the nature of the team's business--but legendary filmmaker John Frankenheimer (Seconds, The Manchurian Candidate) leaps at the material, bringing to it an honest tension and seasoned, breathtaking skill with precision-action direction. The centerpiece of the movie is an honest-to-God car chase that is the real thing: not the how-can-we-top-the-last-stunt cartoon nonsense of Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon), but a pulse-quickening, kinetic dance of superb montage and timing. In a sense, Ronin is almost Frankenheimer's self-quoting version of a John Frankenheimer film. There isn't anything here he hasn't done before, but it's sure great to see it all again. --Tom Keogh

    5 out of 5 stars Ronin   March 13, 2010
    Arnita D. Brown (USA)
    Ronin is the Japanese word used for Samurai without a master. In this case, the Ronin are outcast specialists of every kind, whose services are available to everyone for money. Dierdre undoubtedly from Ireland hires several Ronin to form a team in order to retrieve an important suitcase from a man who is about to sell it to the Russians. After the mission has been completed successfully, the suitcase immediately gets switched by a member of the team who seems to work into his own pocket. The complex net of everyone tricking everyone begins to surface slowly, and deadly. The cast is good and the direction is smooth and keeps the story flowing and it'll keep you guessing right up to the very end about just exactly what is going on and who everyone is. Then, there are the car chases and they are awesome. De Niro and Reno are brilliant in this as of course you would expect from two such excellent actors. This movie is enjoyable and pacy piece of entertainment.



    4 out of 5 stars DeNiro and company in a nice spare action thriller   February 23, 2010
    Dennis W. Wong
    If you like films that grip you from start to finish and have very little dialogue then you'll like this European thriller directed by a master of the genre, the late John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate;Black Sunday). Not mentioned in other reviews of this film is that the script is ghost-written by playwright David Mamet under the name of Richard Weisz. Also I believe that the ghost of the great noirist director, Jean Pierre-Melville hovers over this unique film. DeNiro is fine as always as the key protagonist and he's backed by Jean Reno (The Professional;Crimson Rivers), Steller Skargsgard, Natascha McElhoe, Sean McBean, Michel Lonsdale (Day of the Jackal)and Jonathan Pryce. Full of car chases and double crosses plus the "McGuffin", this slick action film is one great chase reminscent of the great Steve McQueen action flicks of the 60's and 70's.


    5 out of 5 stars One of the best chase movies I ever saw!   February 17, 2010
    Joseph D. Watson (Morriston, FL USA)
    The movie can be a little slow at times, but the chases sequences are spectatular plus, Robert De Niro does great in this role.



    5 out of 5 stars Great Action Movie   February 8, 2010
    Byron Orpheus
    This is, in my opinion, one of the all time best Espionage type action movies. All the actors do a great job. Awesome car chase scenes. One of the all-time best.


    3 out of 5 stars okay   February 6, 2010
    John J. Kim (Japan)
    Okay HD transfer but no commentary from John Frakenheimer? Not recommended unless you are a big Ronin fan.
