Twists and turns - not only the cars!
By MARK from Hereford , 17 Nov 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
Excellent film, I always reckon that DeNiro never makes a bad film.
Absorbing plot, incredible car chases, characters really come to life.
Great film.- Was this review helpful to you?

A Classic Action Movie
By Aficionado (1 review) , 16 Dec 2012Saw this film once before and had to see it again! Robert DeNiro and Jean Reno make a sophisticated duo in this fast moving action packed film. The car chases are amongst the best in this genre. A classic of its kind.- Was this review helpful to you?

A load of old ronin.
By Platospupil (195 reviews) , 13 May 2012And I really like Jean Reno! But this is a staggering load of nonsense. A film that cannot make its mind up as to what it is trying to say, how to say it or why it exists at all. There seems to be no reason for this film. The portentous music is portentously silly .. for no reason. French police clearly need training or at least to be around occasionally, American gangsters need to know what they are doing and why and cases need bloody opening.
I find it hard to believe that Bob did this .. but then look what he went on to do .. the Fockers etc! The seeds were all sown in 1998.- Was this review helpful to you?

really disappointing
By gianino (618 reviews) from London , 11 Mar 2012So tedious and boring. De Niro is great, Sean Beam is good but the rest is flat and boring, The car chase is good; however, it's a shame they use some crappy french ugly cars. The fake Irish lady is annoyng; quite a bad ugly actress to be honest and the plot is 'please gimme a break'. :(- Was this review helpful to you?

A very good action film
By Leanderle (1 review) from Crewkerne , 17 Nov 2011What Ronin does, it does very well. All the actors in this are very good and very convincing.
The scenery and cars used fit the mood of the film perfectly - you can see Frankenheimer has gone to a lot of effort to get everything just right.
The premise is very simple, but the film does leave you a little breathless at times, especially towards the end. I'm not complaining about that as it's better than being patronised, but it's worth pointing out.
What I love especially about the film though is the lack of stereotyping for an action film. The heroes achieve their goal as much by brains as by brawn and weapons. The romantic interludes are kept to a minimum, and although the baddies are a little bit cartoonish, there is a complexity in the way they connect.- Was this review helpful to you?
