Résumés(1)
Cinq hommes et une femme qui ne se connaissent pas se rencontrent dans un entrepôt de la banlieue parisienne. Ces hommes de l'ombre sont d'anciens soldats de la guerre froide qui survivent en louant discrètement leurs services à des commanditaires anonymes. La jeune Irlandaise qui les a réunis manque d'experience. Leur mission est d'affronter une équipe adverse, solidement armée d'une douzaine d'hommes pour lui arracher une précieuse mallette dont ils ignorent le contenu. Une chose est claire : tous devront tuer pour mener à bien leur mission, certains y laisseront leur peau. (Mediawan)

The script a bit leaky, but otherwise a great crime movie. Great actors, De Niro maybe in his last, really good action role. I was also delighted to see Natascha McElhone. John Frankenheimer took care of the perfect atmosphere and flawless chases with the diligence he’s famed for and with great attention to detail.

A thoroughbred, confident old-school affair with a cracking De Niro and excellent action. A classic and a tribute to past generations.

A great crime drama with elements of classic noir thrillers, which, apart from the performances, mainly benefits from a technically hugely compelling story. During the first 15 minutes, everything is set up and the main protagonists are introduced so that the relentless action ride can begin, which doesn't require much thought and yet manages to captivate with its perfectly elaborated and relentless premise. The car chases, in particular, have an incredible intensity and rightfully rank among the best ever filmed. But Frankenheimer clearly has everything under control, expertly dictating the appropriate pace and embellishing the excellent script with an apt atmosphere of suspense and betrayal that lurks literally at every turn. The imaginary crown in the form of De Niro's and Reno's performances, as well as Jan Tříska's smaller role, leaves me in no doubt that Ronin definitely deserves a full rating.

Ronin isn't perfect, especially compared to its genre kinsman Heat. The dialogue is a little clunky and perhaps a little illogical in places. And yet the characters, and two scenes in particular, are ones I won't forget from this film. The first is the car raid on a cafe full of people. The second is the tackling over the railing at the Coliseum in Arles.

A pretty good thriller, sufficiently action-packed, with good characters and a solid plot. Robert De Niro once again demonstrates that no matter what role he's given, he absolutely masters it, immerses himself in it, and shows that he can act brilliantly every time. In some scenes, he's just perfect. The array of famous actors in Ronin certainly helps because otherwise, it's just good, but not exceptional, for me.
