Not Focused but Fun

by Bump , Sep 20 '99
Pros: Great Car Chases
Cons: Weak Story and Plot
This movie was pretty light on storyline and plot, but did make up for some of this with some fantastic car chases and action. Robert Deniro was excellent, but could not save a script that wasn't finished well. The DVD version of this movie comes with...

DeNiro is HOT!!!!

by MIZJENNIFER , Dec 30 '99
Pros: ACTION PACKED
Cons: Not long enough
This was one of the best action films I have ever seen. I loved "The Professional" and this movies runs right along side that movie. The movie had little or no nudity it basically was all action. The plot was excellent for an action film it...

No-Ronin

by clear.bright , Dec 22 '99
Pros: veteran direction
Cons: script
That's English, not Japanese, for NO to this movie. Despite Deniro, despite authentic car chases and ambient European alleys and bistros, it doesn't happen. Why? Nothing new. No one interesting. I saw this movie on the recommendation of a friend and the...

Ronin

by traumerei , Jun 25 '02
Pros: Excellent cast and direction
Cons: None.
This movie has the sort of élan that is lacking in most Hollywood blockbusters.

JOHN FRANKENHEIMER: the director of the Manchurian Candidate, made good use of cross-cutting techniques and *real*, not bluescreened car scenes. During the...

'Bullitt' 'Fast and Furious' times 10!!

by aburn , Jan 25 '03
Pros: Robert-Freaking-De Niro and the meca of movie car chases, Jean Reno
Cons: could have better music, more elaborate plot
Anything with Robert De Niro or Jean Reno in it is worth watching. Put them both in the same movie, and you now have a 'must-see'. This was a great action flick that didn't overdo it. All of the stunts were well done and very sophisticated.

For The Thinking Man (or Woman)

by kathy36 , May 15 '00
Pros: Great plot
Cons: A little confusing in the beginning
This is not your usual, predictable action flick. It delves a little bit more into the nature of the characters, showing more facets rather than leaving them two-dimensional. This makes the movie a little more realistic, because the people are complex...

Ronin- Half a Plot and Half a million wrecked cars

by Coolspin , Jul 21 '00
Pros: De Niro
Cons: De Niro sucks in this; Whole plot is about the box, ends in anti-climax
I'm going to give away the entire plot by the end of this review to prevent good epinion members from renting this frustrating yawnfest.

It all starts out with the Irish women got together the rag-tag group of ruthless mercinaries ot get a...

Buckle Those Safety Belts for Ronin

by tlin77 , Jan 24 '00
Pros: great car chase scenes, cast, director narration on DVD
Cons: if you don't have a dvd player
I happened to miss 'Ronin' when it made it's pass through the movie theaters. I consider myself lucky that I didn't just rent this movie on videocassette, that would have been a big mistake. To fully experience a movie like 'Ronin' you have to see it...

Ronin provides the necessary dose of action for the day!!!

by therdour , Apr 12 '00
Pros: great car chase scenes, acting is ok, scenery is good, action is superb
Cons: can be slow at some parts, but otherwise near perfect
If you see this movie for no other reason, see it because this movie has the best car chase scenes ever made . . . EVER! The action in this movie will hold you over for a while, as it provides an edge-of-your-seat feeling that is only usually experienced...

Cars, Politics & Guns

by odovaker , Oct 31 '99
Pros: Great Car chases, De Niro & Reno
Cons: Nothing else to recommend
Take Cars, Politics, Guns, throw in De Niro & Reno & how can you go wrong ?? Well, it did. Convoluted plot with everyone having a stake in a "suitcase" (but nothing like Pulp Fiction). KGB, Germans, IRA, CIA, French, mercenaries &...

Dull, Dull, Dull!!!

by ravenspike , Jun 25 '00
Pros: Whats a pro?
Cons: Dull, stupid, boring, pointless
I really expect only one thing from an action movie, and that is ACTION!!! That is why I hated this movie, because it was so incredibly dull. I should have known better, and would have, if I had seen that it was written by Mamet. He can write some...

Gritty, Action Packed Thriller

by boothroyd , Aug 05 '00
Pros: Intense action, intricate plot, good acting
Cons: Not a "crowd pleasing" movie
My favorite movie of all time is Ronin. Why? This intense thriller stars Robert De Niro and Jean Reno (of The Professional), and has an excellent cast all around, including Sean Bean and Jonathan Pryce as an Irish terrorist. The movie itself is...

Best car chase ever

by Bradman Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 20 '00
Pros: Best car chase
Cons: Some silly plot twists
The main reason to watch this movie is for the awesome car chase scene in France. The driving is just fantastic! They do a little “dance” in a tunnel that will make your palms sweat. I heard about this movie from a Car & Driver 10 Best car film list....
