Ronin, is by far Jean Reno's best film to date, and at least it's an action film where he doesn't get killed for a change.
To me, this is a grown ups version of, James Bond, and it is well worth watching over and over again.
A freelance gang of ex-secret agents are on a mission to steal a small case in Paris, they don't even know who they are
stealing it for, and they don't know what's in it? They are all doing it for a good price though. Robert De Niro, stars alongside,
Jean, in this film,and to be honest, they actually compliment each other.
I would love to see them in a follow up of, Ronin, it was certainly left open for a follow up. There are some of the best
car chases in film history in this film, and some interesting gun battles, there is also two of my favourite pieces of music
from all time in it: 'Time to say goodbye' by Sarah Brightman, and 'Rhapsody of a theme of Paganini' by Rachmanikov.
