Ronin - A
Brilliant film, the car chases were good, but thats not the best part of the film, the action and the way the scenes play out are the best part, and the location? really good choice!!! De Niro is amazing, Sean Bean is sensational with one of the funniest lines from any movie "raspberry jam back there", hilarious!!! Jean Reno is cooool. Good all round film.

Very good thriller. The chase at the end has a really nice feeling for speed (Congrats to the stundmen):
8/10

Very good film. The years have been kind to it and it seems even better now than it did at the time. One of the best thrillers of the 90s. Better than expected cinematography for its genre, and nice locations, great ensemble cast. The actual plot is a bit silly and convoluted but like some other movies (such as The good the bad and the ugly), it's more about the journey than the destination.

Re: Ronin Not quite as awesome as it's been made out to be, but still very solid with some terrific car chases.
