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...
A freelancing former U.S. Intelligence Agent tries to track down a mysterious package that is wanted by the Irish and the Russians.
RONIN is somewhat better than the average action film, as it focuses more on the development of the characters and the storyline than most movies in this genre. As with many action films, there are lots of mandatory car chases and shoot-outs to be found here (perhaps more than necessary), but many (not all) of the action sequences are actually logical and appeal to the cerebral as well as the visceral. Screenwriter David Mamet (writing under the pseudonym Richard Weisz) went to great lengths to avoid the many annoying clichés found in this genre, and even throws in a Hitchcock-styled McGuffin (as seen in PULP FICTION and MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE III, to name a few) for good measure.
The acting is a large part of what sets this movie apart from many of its kind, as the all-star ensemble of Robert DeNiro, Jean Reno, Sean Bean, Stellan Skarsgard, and Natascha McElhone do remarkable well in a genre that doesn't usually require much in the way of acting.
Cinematographer Robert Fraisse also did well to infuse a sort of noir element in this movie. I cannot remember the last time a movie featuring the flamboyant city of Paris looked so devoid of flair and colour.
Bottom line: There's plenty to be had in RONIN; lots of action for the visceral action fans, excellent dialogue and acting, a great screenplay, decent storyline, and good music. In the end, this film deserves a solid 8/10 and 3 stars (out of 4). May or may not earn a place in my 'Honourable Mentions' list. Recommended.
I cannot work out why everyone seems to like this film so much. The excellent cast is wasted on a weak plot that is full of holes, and the technically great stunts are wasted because the way the action scenes occur is so contrived. We also are left with no idea as to why any of this is occurring, except for some vague notion about DeNiro's job of trying to assassinate 'Seamus', (which he was, incidentally, particularly bad at- if he'd had 'Deirdre' tailed to one of her meetings early on, we would have been spared most of the film).
The constant desire to obtain the 'Mysterious Package' became so tiresome. I think it could be that no-one could think of something important enough that could be in the package, so they didn't bother telling us what it was.
The film's attitude to innocent bystanders was very strange- The director seemed to enjoy showing us as many innocent people as possible buying it, for no good reason. None of the characters seemed to care, and I in turn found it hard to care about the main characters. If you don't care about the people you're watching, there's no tension.
And Jean Reno's speach at the end: "... perhaps that is the third lesson..." etc, could the script-writers have found any more cliches to use? I think not, they used them all.
I could go on all day about the other errors, inconsistencies and, but I've got better things to do than waste any more time on this piece of rubbish, I just had to write because I wanted to see some more alternatives to the mostly "YEAH, GREAT LIKE ACTION AN CARS AN SHOOTIN AN STUFF" simple-minded 'reviews'.

As is common in a Frankenheimer picture, the plot lines get a bit tangled in Ronin, but the atmosphere is tense, the style impeccable.
(4) The ice skate case belongs to the Russians and contains information that they want back. (Details of arms sales? Pictures of Mikhi with underage boys?) That's why Mikhi wants it back but doesn't want to pay for it; handing over money could validate the contents and be used to blackmail him later. The Irish want it as leverage over the Russians. The CIA want it to convict the Russians. The man with the case wants to sell it and make a quick buck. Ronin has loads of cars. The main ones in order of appearances include: (1) Volkswagen (original) van, (2) Audi S8 D2 Quattro (fitted with a nitrous oxide power-booster) (car driven by Larry), (3) Volvo Estate V70 R AWD, (4) BMW 5 Series (in tunnel), (5) Peugeot 306 estate police car, (6) Peugeot 205GL (police car chasing the Audi), (7) Citroen XM V6 (the get away car outside the Majestic), (8) Peugeot 306 diesel estate police car, (9) Peugeot Expert van (could be named differently on mainland Europe), (10) Peugeot 605 (lead and follow the Citroen XM in the chase), (11) Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 W116 (car driven by Vincent at the ambush), (12) Shooting scene cars Renault Laguna, Renault 25 and Renault Espace and Citroen Xantia, (13) Fiat Uno, (14) Jeep Cherokee, (15) Peugeot 106, (16) Citroen Xantia, (17) Rover 400, (18) Renault Laguna, (19) Volkswagen Golf CL (car stolen by Vincent after they are left behind), (20) Peugeot 406 Mk1 (Sam's Paris chase car), (21) BMW M5 E34 (Deirdre's Paris chase car), (22) Renault 5 (post van), (23) Renault Prima (post van), (24) Mercedes 500E (the camera car towing the 406), (25) Citroen ZX police car, (26) Citroen Saxo / Peugeot 406 crash, (27) Renault 21 crash in tunnel, (28) Peugeot 306, Peugeot 106, DAF truck crash, (29) Peugeot 306 (final get away car), and (30) Citroen Xantia. According to reports, over 75 cars were wrecked during the production. Although the movie was left open at the end, hinting that Vincent and Sam may work together in the future, no plans for a Ronin 2 movie have been announced. a5c7b9f00b
