Movie Notes: Ronin
= 3 stars
Starring Robert De Niro, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone
Directed by John Frankenheimer
Amazon Link
Synopsis
Dierdre (Natascha McElhone) hires Sam (Robert De Niro) and other independent criminals to intercept a suitcase containing important materials en route to the Russians.
The Good
- A few thrilling chase sequences, in particular a lengthy car chase through several tunnels.
- De Niro is solid as always as a hardened no-nonsense criminal. There’s one intense scene where he directs others to perform an operation on him to remove bullets.
The Bad
- The plot is pretty convoluted and I’ll admit to getting completely confused and lost a lot of interest when ice skating became involved.
Conclusion
It’s got some great action scenes and a grounded, central performance from De Niro. That’s about it. A fine rental.
