Ronin

Movie: Ronin
Year: 1998
Date Watched: Thursday, September 17
Top Stars: Robert De Niro, Jean Reno, Sean Bean, Jonathan Pryce, Natascha McElhone
Recommendation: No. I felt this was a bad action movie with a car chase that lasted sooooo long that it became comical that no one died and everyone walked away with killing the entire city. Suspension of disbelief was gone about five minutes into the 15-minute car chase. Also, the entire story revolves around chasing a briefcase that no one even knows why they're chasing it. And there's no reward to the audience at the end of the movie. Felt like a WWE PPV main event that went 30 minutes and then ended with eight guys doing a run-in and the DQ finish with the heel champion retaining the title. Unsatisfying, over-done movie. Yet, the movie seemed to fit the title, which is Japanese for outlaw cast-offs meandering through life trying to find their way. Kind of like this movie.
