| Movie Description David Mamet wrote this screenplay under the name Richard Weisz, as a gun for hire, much like the masterless samurai of the film's title, who roamed Japan in the 19th Century, loyal only to themselves. A group of men with highly developed skills are called to a meeting in a deserted warehouse in Paris. Sam (Robert De Niro), an American, may be ex-CIA. Vincent (Jean Reno), the terminally cool Frenchman, is a mystery. Russian computer whiz Gregor (Stellan Skarsgaard) is presumably ex-KGB, and Spence (Sean Bean), a British demolitions man, and Larry (Skipp Suddith), another Yank, round out the team. They've been hired by the IRA, through liaison Deirdre (Natascha McElhone), to steal a briefcase of unknown contents somewhere in Europe. As the unit races from one spectacular location on the French Riviera to another, the body count mounts, some Russian gangsters get into the act, and the betrayals come fast and furious. In a rare comic moment, Sam stitches up his own bullet wound, and asks a friend to finish before he passes out. RONIN features an exceptional cast, sumptuous locations, and the kind of realistic car chases and action scenes that one expects from a director of John Frankenheimer's skills.

Review ID: 10000000005388145 Was this review helpful? Report this review Ronin--Reno & DeNiro & the Best Car Chase ever1 of 1 people found this review helpful. So if you dont know already, then here it is: this movie features the greatest car chase sequence captured on film. Subjective you say?? Fact: The 10+ min car chase scene used over 200+ professional stunt drivers: a record for a movie. This film has action, terrific story and of course DeNiro. Although the movie keeps you interested throughout the ending is a bit underwhelming and lacks punch. Perhaps thats why this movie is a notch below a similar action-thriller starring DeNiro==Heat.

This movie has by far the best car chase i've ever seen as well. Well worth the money, not to mention this version comes with a ton of extra features including the alternate ending.
