Ronin


A group of international guns for hire are assembled in Paris by a shadowy operative to snatch an important briefcase. They're not told who's given them the mission nor what the briefcase contains. One of them, an American, is suspicious and establishes a sympathetic relationship with the group's French handler. The two reluctantly decide to complete their assignment. Naturally, things go wrong and nothing turns out as expected.
The movie has been hyped, the reviews have been mixed.

Visitor Comments

Gareth Searle: A coolish movie,like an extended car chase movie-action.

Isma Manitsa: Disappointing but with good car chasing scenes.

Graeme Smith: One of the best action movies you will see this year. Superb cast and fantastic directing from Frankenheimer. Fantastic car chasing scenes are out of this world. I wonder if Enemy of the State will be as good. Highly recommended.

Lynda Ngcaba: One of the best I've seen.

Clinton Borain: Too drawn out, was missing something vital.

Cristian Olcina: One of the best action films of the year. You have to see it.

Guinevere Vos: An excellent action film with perfectly chosen scenery. The best car chase I have ever seen.
