Usually, when you plunk down your money to see a DeNiro movie, you can rest assured that your money has been well spent. DeNiro is probably one of the greatest actors of all time and definitely one of my favorites. I've loved all the movies that he's been in. Everything from Mean Streets, to Taxi Driver, to Awakenings and Jackie Brown. I'm always left wanting more. Ronin, however, left a bad taste in my mouth. Before you pay to see this movie, realize that you may have already seen it. It was called Mission Impossible and Tom Cruise played the part that DeNiro plays in Ronin. Both films have similar espionage story lines, and both films were a little too complicated for mainstream America. Within the first 5 minutes of Ronin, I had already lost count of how many people around me had said: " I don't get it! " or " I thought he was with them!!" Robert DeNiro is excellentalways, but even his stellar performance can't save this movie. The entire film centers around an elite group of spies and mercenaries who have been hired to retrieve a suit case. They try and try and try and try and try again. Like that last sentence, it too goes on forever. In the movie, DeNiro is asked if he has ever killed anyone. " I hurt somebody's feelings once." he smirks back. Well, this film certainly hurt mine.
One of the best movies I had the pleasure of viewing this year. The action is plentiful, with the oft-referenced car chases being the most memorable feature. The cast is an eclectic combination of well-known stars and under-appreciated talent (the most obvious example of this is JeanRenoVincent). De Niro wears the role of Sam, the rogue ex-CIA agent with a past that is hinted at but never revealed, like a second skin. His relationship with Natascha McElhone (Deirdre) develops quickly and believably and lays the groundwork for a climatic revelation that serves to tie many of the enigmatic loose ends up. All in all, a strong cast with a tight story and great action. Highly advised it is seen on the big screen.
A film in which the mechanics of the plot are far less interesting, and vital, then the interior landscape of men who exist outside the law.
A mysterious Irish woman calling herself Deirdre (<a href="/name/nm0001523/">Natascha McElhone</a>) hires five mysterious mercenaries—Sam (<a href="/name/nm0000134/">Robert De Niro</a>), Vincent (<a href="/name/nm0000606/">Jean Reno</a>), Gregor (<a href="/name/nm0001745/">Stellan Skarsgård</a>), Larry (<a href="/name/nm0837175/">Skipp Sudduth</a>), and Spence (<a href="/name/nm0000293/">Sean Bean</a>)—to steal a mysterious suitcase from a mysterious group of men who are transporting it from Paris to Nice in hopes of selling the mysterious contents to some mysterious Russians. It's all very mysterious, but the chase is on. Ronin is based on a story and screenplay by American playwrights J.D. Zeik and David Mamet (creditedRichard Weisz). （浪人）A ronin is a Japanese samurai without a mastercould happen when a samurai's liege is killed or shamed. The ronin then becomes forced to wander the land, looking for worka hired sword or a bandit. Although there are no Japanese samurai or ronin in this movie, the five mercenaries are compared to them,they are all ex Special Forces and intelligence operatives. At one point in the movie, the story of 47 samurai who became ronin during the feudal period is detailed. Three movies about the 47 have been released: <a href="/title/tt1335975/">47 Ronin (2013)</a> (2013) and two versions in Japanese: <a href="/title/tt0033654/">Genroku Chûshingura (1941)</a> (1941) and <a href="/title/tt0111170/">Shijûshichinin no shikaku (1994)</a> (1994). The seven samurai in <a href="/name/nm0000041/">Akira Kurosawa</a>'s <a href="/title/tt0047478/">Shichinin no samurai (1954)</a> (1954) are essentially ronin,are many of the samurai in Kurosawa's films. Yes, for long shots, no for closeups. The staircase that Sam descends in his very first shot is real, the Rue Drevet in the Montmartre (18th) district of Paris. This "street" runs between the Rue des Trois Freres (at the bottom) and the Rue Berthe (at the top). When Sam walks behind the staircase, it's a replica of the stairs - there is no courtyard behind them, only small, narrow alleys where the local businesses keep their garbage cans. The bar is actually a Tex-Mex restaurant called Blue Sky. For the production, the street scenes were edited together with a carefully reconstructed replica of Blue Sky's entrance. If you watch Vincent enter the bar, you'll see two people pass from right to left between Vince and the camera, which covers an edit between the actual location and the set. The interiors were filmed in a studio. Sam explains to Deirdre that he doesn't walk into a place he doesn't know how to walk out of. He hid his gun near the back door of the cafe so that, in case things went bad and he had to shoot his way out, he could either escape and run outside to grab his weapon or, if they intended to kidnap him, he could pretend to trip, grab the gun, and fight back. If he'd tried to carry the gun inside the bar, they might have frisked him and taken it, leaving him defenseless. Gregor, Sam and Deirdre make reference to "the man from Bristol". His given name is never revealed. From what is mentioned in the film, he is apparently a retired intelligence agent who was paralyzed during the Cold War (what Sam calls "the late unpleasantness") and confined to a wheelchair. He currently worksa sort of employment agency for mercenaries. Dierdre hired both Sam and Gregor through the man from Bristol. His nationality is unknown but, presumably, he is not from a Soviet bloc country since, when Gregor asks how the man became paralyzed, Sam states that it occurred "in your neck of the woods" (i.e., East Germany or the Soviet bloc). The first thing that Sam does when he meets the other members of the team is to size everyone up. What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? What might be their background? He tests both Gregor and Spence with a cup of coffee. Although Gregor was hiredthe electronics man, his lightning fast reflexes at catching the falling cup suggest he is more than just a procurer of electronics, therefore he passes muster. On the other hand, although Spence claims to be the "weapons man" and to have received special training in the 22nd Special Air Service at Hereford, his failure to react when "ambushed" by a cup of falling coffee alerts Sam to the fact that he is clumsy and possesses no special training. Add to that the fact that he doesn't know the color of the boathouse, or even try to bluff his way out of answering the question, shows that he is inexperienced and would probably prove to be a handicap to the team. Spence is likely the one who set up the exchange. Vincent, being French and having connections in France, would probably have been able to set up an exchange with trustworthy sources. However, Spence claimed to be the "gun guy" so he was allowed to set up the meeting. It's likely Spence is just a street-level criminal and has enough connections to unsavory elements, but lacks the knowledge or experience to properly vet his sources outside of England. So setting up the gun exchange, he wound up setting it up with an untrustworthy source, who planned to ambush them. Sam is the one who fired first when he spotted the sniper, prompting the firefight. Nevertheless, the gun exchange had all the characteristics of an ambush, and the ambush was most likely supposed to happen. One can also distinguish the fat guy saying at one point in Russian "Let them come closer. Keep talking" which supports the ambush proposition. The ambushers probably just wanted to take the money from Sam's team. "Raspberry jam",used by Spence, refers to a tight encounter (like in the close-quarters within the tunnel) between two small, but relatively equally-armed, troops. They also refer to itan "ambush", although an ambush usually implies that one side is concealed and lying in wait for the other side to pass by, at which time the first side will pull a surprise attack on them. In the raspberry jam, however, everyone but the sniper was visible to each other. After the weapon exchange ambush, Sam is suspicious of Spence's competence. Eventually, after grilling Spence, Sam exposes him to be a fraud. Deirdre then dismisses Spence from the crew. Deirdre pays him for services rendered up to that point and then not-so-subtly suggests he forget they exist, because they wouldn't forget him. Essentially telling him, if he runs his mouth or tries to rat on them, he'd be killed. There is no boathouse at Hereford but there is a canoe club structure. That building is grey. Sam uses a .45 Mil-Spec 1911 handgun, a 40mm HK69A1 grenade launcher, a SIG SG 551 assault rifle, a LAW (bazooka), an FN MINIMI-Para Mk 2 light machine gun, and a 9mm SIG-Sauer P228 handgun. Deirdre uses a 9mm Jericho 941FB Compact handgun and a 9mm HK MP5A3 submachine gun. Spence uses a 9mm SIG-Sauer P228 handgun and a 9mm HK MP5K submachine gun. Vincent uses a 9mm Beretta Cougar Inox. Larry uses a 12-gauge Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser shotgun and a nickel-plated .45 Taurus PT945 (Brazilian copy of a Beretta 92). Gregor uses a 9mm Glock 17L with sound suppressor and EOTech holosight. In an attempt to sell the case for three times the original asking price, Gregor meets with Mikhi (<a href="/name/nm0040545/">Féodor Atkine</a>) at the Le Zénith arena where Mikhi's girlfriend, world class Russian figure skater Natacha Kirilova (<a href="/name/nm0001861/">Katarina Witt</a>) is performing. To insure his own safety, Gregor has placed a sniper in the audience and informs Mikhi that Natacha will be killed if anything happens to him. Mikhi shoots Gregor anyway, takes both the case and the money, and runs outside. Sam and Vincent, caught up in the panicking crowd, also run outside just in time to see Deirdre's boss, Seamus O'Rourke (<a href="/name/nm0000596/">Jonathan Pryce</a>), shoot Mikhi and take the case. While Vincent follows Mikhi, Sam locates Deirdre in a waiting taxicab and tells her to leave, admitting that he never left the CIA and that he was there to get Seamus, not the case. Deirdre speeds away, leaving Seamus cornered by Sam, Vincent, and the French police. Seamus begins to shoot his way out, wounding Vincent, and then run back into the arena. Sam follows him, but Seamus shoots him in the shoulder. JustSeamus is about to fire on Sam again, Vincent fires two bullets into Seamus, killing him. In the final scene, probably weeks later, Sam and Vincent are having coffee together in the bar where they first met. An announcement is made over the radio that the British government of Northern Ireland and the Irish resistance have finally reached a peace agreement, largely due to the apprehension and slaying of terrorist Seamus O'Rourke (who was previously denounced by the IRA, the military branch of the Sinn Féin) by parties unknown. Sam and Vincent look at each knowingly. When Sam glances at the door to see the girl just walking in, Vincent assures him that Deirdre won't be coming back. They make their goodbyes, shake hands, and Vincent gets the bill. "I'll get the next one," Sam assures him, and the two go their separate ways …for now. Sinn Féin is an Irish political party closely allied with the IRA (Irish Republican Army). The name is Irish for "we ourselves". Their members were often, but not exclusively, made up of former IRA operatives but were never directly involved with violence. However, since the signing of the Good Friday peace agreement, Sinn Fein, along with the Provisional IRA, has denounced terrorism, and its Vice President is actually deputy first Minister of Northern Ireland in the Northern Irish power-sharing assembly. The female sniper is most likely just another mercenary, perhaps one of Gregor's ex-KGB acquaintances. The identity of the sniper was probably another element of the plot that was purposely left out, just like The Man In The Wheelchair or the contents of the case that everyone is trying to steal. During World War II the Soviets often employed womensnipers, finding many to be well-suited to the job. A few other movies have made mention of Russian women snipers, such<a href="/title/tt0046359/">Stalag 17 (1953)</a> and <a href="/title/tt0093428/">The Living Daylights (1987)</a>, but mostly in passing. More info on the use of women snipers by the Soviets can be read here. The briefcase is a "MacGuffin"—a term popularized by director Alfred Hitchcock and writer Angus MacPhail to describe a plot point that is deliberately left vague sonot to draw too much emphasis away from the real story.
