Summary: Great Action
Review: Although Ronin may seem to have a bit of a slow pace to it, the film itself truly is a great modernized example of noirish filmmaking. The shootouts were terrific and the casting was well thought out. All in all, Ronin is a strongly underrated movie that came out of hectic year of 1998.

Summary: A must for the car enthusiast
Review: This is a first rate movie in that it doesn't try to wow the viewer with the biggest explosions, the most erotic sex scenes, and employ the latest Hollywood hunk. It makes do with a great story line and some of the best action sequences I have ever scene. The car chases are the best I have ever seen in that they have people racing at extremely high speeds (they really are going over 100mph, the film isn't speeded up)in what looks like a real Paris city street during normal traffic. The most interesting thing however is that they use European only models that you don't see in the U.S. (example, the Audi S8, Citroen XM, Peugeot 406, Renault Safrane). All in all, a nice change in film making compared to the latest out from Hollywood, and a must see.

Summary: Incredible chase scenes, okay movie.
Review: This movie has the best choreographed and edited chase scenes I have ever seen in cinema. The plot itself doesn't say much to me. Robert has a somewhat interesting character, but he doesn't liven up the movie too much. A good espianoge movie, but about as good as espianoge movies can get these days.

Summary: Ronin
Review: Why this didn't do better at the box office mystifies me. It has all of the essential elements of a great action movie. It is front to back excitement with an unusual and well executed plot The car chase is the best I've ever seen, ( makes all the usual "classics" look tame - sorry Steve McQueen) The characters are well structured and believable and the acting is first rate. What more could you want? Watch it - you won't be sorry

Summary: Great action, forgettable characters
Review: I enjoyed the European feel to this film greatly. It had far greater depth to it than most of the "i can make something explode most fantastically than you" action films that are out there today. Character development was subtle yet effective for the DeNiro, Reno and McElhone characters. The other characters were either forgettable or an annoyance, and therefore it was not surprising they were either discarded, irrelevant or perished. The car chases were great, but during the greatest of them all I was tempted to hit fast forward, I had had enough. The conclusion was OK, but contained no deep or exciting twists. If even more attention was paid to the DeNiro/Reno relationship it could have made for a more poignant film, but all things considered, I've seen far worse movies lately.

Summary: WHOA!
Review: If you're looking for a deviously intelligent, hair raising action Flic this is it! This one, unfortunately kinda got lost in the Box office frenzy last year but is an excellent addition to the action fans collection. The chase scenes are brilliant and unlike a lot of the lethal Weapon type movies out there,you are constantly wondering what direction the story is going to lead Its DeNiro! How can you go wrong?

Summary: Suave, macho, unpredictable, elegant - Ronin has it all!
Review: THIS is probably the most exciting film I have ever seen! It grabs you by the throat right from the start and has you on the edge of the seat all thru the finish. Recipe: You take de Niro, the coolest suavest actor to walk this Earth, pair him off with Reno, the most macho actor to walk this Earth and Skarsgaard the most unpredictable and dangerous actor to walk this Earth and throw in a few other brilliant actors for measure. Then you add a few car chases which will make French Connection blush with shame, one of which is done by two of the most elegant cars to cruise this Earth, the Audi S8 and the Citroen XM, throw in a spectalucar show-down in a filled Le Zenith in Paris with a cameo performance by the stunning Katharina Witt and what have you got ? RONIN! Watch and enjoy the shiver down your spine from time to time.......you won't regret it!

Summary: ...But the car-chases are nice...
Review: I can't believe people calling this movie 70's-like; it's just as fast as any of the newer Bond movies. And that's precisely why I was disappointed by it being so "current", after all. After reading all these great things about it - pre-MTV, slow pace, the setting, downbeat ending, talky, etc. - I thought here might finally be a movie different from the bulk of recent action flicks. But no. Sure, the colors are subdued and they may talk a lot, but here's where the misunderstanding begins. Just 'cos they talk more (which in retrospect, I'm not even sure they do all THAT much), doesn't necessarily mean it's a slow movie. -There's one vital thing which distinguish the 70's from the 90's: the editing. The makers of "Ronin" just didn't dare to slow that down, I guess. -In fear modern audiences might fall asleep, no doubt. How very boring.

Summary: All I can say is WOW!!!!
Review: WOW, this movie Probably has THE best car chase scenesEVER!. The sound in Ronin is also incredible, Every little detail was taken care of. Frankenheimer also gives an indepth look into the making of the movie in the Director's comments. Unlike most Action movies, This one makes the viewer think. a Must-have for any Action Fan.

Summary: DINERO does MIFUNE
Review: RONIN is the best thinking man's action movie since HEAT.The movie takes its time while it builds the characters and draws you in.Usually american directors use a general formula that's used from one action movie to another.FRANKENHIEMER gives me the impression this is a tribute to japanese directors like KAROSOWA or MIZOGUCHI.The directors comments really teach you why this is a superior action movie and also shows us that some directors insist on making movies as art form rather than chasing the money.FRANKENHIEMER has a lot of pressure if he want's to top this one!
