MOVIE REVIEW: RONIN * * 1/2 (2 and a half stars out of 4).
External link:
My friend Stefanie C. said she really loved this movie. But when I rented it, my brother and both my parents each told me that they thought it was the worst movie they ever saw. So, I was really looking forward to seeing it and, for good or bad, having a strong reaction to it. So, I was disappointed to find that it was really just okay. There are some great car chases going the wrong way in traffic, and a really intense scene where DeNiro directs his friend on how to operate to remove a bullet from DeNiro's abdomen without anesthesia. But I don't much care for those mindless action movies, and the plot was a little too twisty. Also, it seemed a little violent to me. It doesn't have that much more violence than many action movies, but I think what bothered me was that so many innocent bystanders got killed.
