I already own a copy of this DVD bu6t wanted to upgrade to the 2 Disc version. This is one of my favorite films, Robert DeNiro is amazing as always, and Jean Reno gives his usual stellar performance. They manage to take the history of the Ronin and apply it to a modern setting so perfectly, even devoting a portion of the film itself to speak of the legendary 47 Ronin. The ending leaves you with questions, but in a good way, and the openness leaves room for a possible sequel, which I would love to see. I adore this film so much I took my wrestling name from this film, I highly recommend this to everyone. Ronin The Rock and Roll Vampire Vv--vV ^----^
VERY in-TENS ACTION THRU ALL FILM' TIMING. DIRECTION VERY GOOOD. DE NIRO HOLDS the SUBJECT SOFTLY but FIRM. CAST - EXELELENT. SCRIPT GOOD with SPARKS of REAL HUMOR. CAMERA COOD. NOT So "NEO-NOIR" GOOD NEWS; PHANTOM PLOT - not so GOOD. MOVIE WORTH TIME & MONEY... BUT...by FINAL ACCOUNT - HERE IS NO a SMLELL NOR a VIEW of FRANCE. LOOKing like BUNCH PORTUGAL CRAP on The SCREEN. Obout " HEARROICK " - only SCORNY " ### NOIR " SOUNDNTRACK... PICTURE FROM "PROMO-DVD" so UGLY-FUNNY: SAVED on PHOTOGRAPHER, [IT'S COMMON TREND NOW in MOVIE PRODUCTION: BIG BUDGETS PRODUCTION saving on BEST-BOYS, BEST MANS, & other best DOGS ] BUT NEVERTHELESS - COOL MOVIE....FOR TIME LIKE NOW.... GLAD to GETTING IT.
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 all the elements of a great movie. The international intrigue and plot involve an Ex-CIA operative working with a IRA faction. Robert DeNiro is awesome One of the best.
