फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
A pretty decent action outing for Robert De Niro and John Frankenheimer. Good photography of some of the seedier neighborhoods of Paris and other French cities. This film is quintessential De Niro, and he gets all the good lines. There is an interesting revelation at the end, which I will not reveal here. The case everyone is after, is a complete McGuffin, what Hitchcock called that plot device, the thing which everyone wants, and it doesn't really matter exactly what that is. I think that Frankenheimer may have been paying homage to Hitchcock on this, as what is in the case is never revealed. Apparently David Mamet was the script doctor on this film, and it ended up OK. I am of two minds on Mamet, having liked "The Untouchables" a lot, and disliked "Glengarry Glen Ross" and loathed "Oleanna". I also liked Natascha McElhone, who I had never heard of. She is a beautiful and accomplished actress. Some people complained about her brogue. OK, she's not Meryl Streep. But then again, who is? A lot of actors won't even try. I look forward to seeing more of her.
Oh, yeah, and some of the car chases were really, really cool, almost McQueenian.

Ronin is a beautiful looking movie that utilizes its gritty depiction of Paris and Nice to its advantage. Watching this picture 26 years after it originally released, it paints a thoroughly nostalgic and unconventionally idyllic view of France. Laden with big leather jackets and a plethora of iconic European cars from the 90's, it is oozing with atmosphere and easily immerses you into its setting. That is by far this movie's biggest strength, along with its extremely entertaining (albeit sometimes clunky) car chase scenes.
The plot is... less great. It tells a very vague and mostly nonsensical heist story, where a group of international criminals meet up for the first time to do a job together, in a similar vein to Reservoir Dogs. The glaring difference between the two movies is that the person who's in charge of setting up the job in Ronin seems to have very little control over their hired criminals, who easily bully their handler into being given more information and money, as well as them being generally terrible at working in a group!
While the overall premise is little more than flimsy, the moment-to-moment banter between the group is decent, and the action scenes are well executed. The acting is also great in general, despite somewhat poor writing in a couple of scenes. It's a movie carried quite effortlessly by its aesthetics, to a point where you can ignore most of the plot's faults because of how easily you get immersed into the world the movie's created for itself. Ronin drags a bit towards the end, with a third segment that was not as entertaining as the rest of the movie, but it is overall a great, laidback watch.

This thriller from veteren John Frankenheimer is pure excellence, the script, acting and action are top draw. De Niro and Reno are brilliant in this as of course you would expect from two such excellent actors. The action scenes are pulse pounding and particularly excellent are the car chases, probably the best ever. Not only did the stunt guys risk their lives but the guys shooting the action captured some truly thrilling close up view from the cars as they speed along. The action also carries a certain degree of realism to it, the shootouts are sensible and the car chases and crashes seem very genuine no massive corkscrewing threw the air like most car chases or cars jumping 100 feet in the air like in Gone in 60 seconds, which is all very good but not for this sort of thriller. The pacing of the film was great and there was a constant chilling atmosphere. As I said before Robert De Niro and Jean Reno were exceptional particularly in their scenes together. The support cast are good too with a brief but excellent display from Sean Bean and Natasha Mchelhone and Jonathan Pryce are both good as Irish terrosists with comendable accents. All in all a very god way to spend a few hours.
Ronin is defined as a Japanese Samurai who has lost his master and must search for work as a sword for hire or reduced to banditry. A group of experts are gathered in Paris by Deirdre (Natascha McElhone) who is looking to steal a mysterious suitcase. The group (Robert DeNiro, Jean Reno, Stellan Skarsgård, Sean Bean, Skipp Sudduth) don't know each other and don't trust each other. The plan is very sketchy, and Deirdre won't tell them what's in the suitcase.
Director John Frankenheimer shows that he still has a bit of juice left in him. The best thing about this movie is the class of acting talents he is able to get. Robert DeNiro is superbly brilliant. Jean Reno is absolutely solid, and Sean Bean puts in a nice turn. The objective is almost unimportant. This is about a bunch of great actors playing around with some mysterious characters. Each of whom may turn out to be something less than reliable.

A great movie that you can't just watch with one eye. It starts slow, laying a strong foundation, and if it's on TV, it's easy to get lost by not paying attention at the beginning. However, it's an outstanding film, exploring the characters with a huge action movie in the background.
It's visually interesting and doesn't ever let you know the things you think you need to know, but by the end you've forgotten that you wanted to know them in the first place. Robert DeNiro gives a strong performance and doesn't get lost in some of the showiness he can deliver when he's making up for a weaker story, and the supporting cast is full of familiar faces, many of which blend so well into the characters they play that, again, you can become lost in the story (although this time, it a good way).
