Please note this is a region 2 DVD & will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play Robert De Niro stars as an American intelligence operative adrift in irrelevance since the end of the Cold War--much like a masterless samurai aka "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 Mc Elhone) is to get hold of a particular suitcase that is equally coveted by the Russian mafia & 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 Mc Elhone & asserts his experience on the planning & 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 & seasoned breathtaking skill with precision-action direction The centrepiece 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 & 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 Actors Robert De Niro Jean Reno Natascha Mc Elhone Stellan Skarsgård Sean Bean Directors John Frankenheimer Writers David Mamet JD Zeik Producers Ethel Winant Frank Mancuso Jr Paul Kelmenson Language English Subtitles English Number of discs 1 ...
