Viewing Location: Times Square, NYC Grade: B
Summary: Class A stars in a real class B movie.
Robert DeNiro and Jean Reno play mercenaries hired to recover a mysterious suitcase. We never learn what's in it, but I guess that's not important; rather, the point of the film appears to be, how well can these guys play mercenaries, or perhaps the point is, how well can Jean Reno be typecast. Anyway, we do have good tough-guy car chase scenes through France, but the film is missing something... a "point", I guess. Anyhow, the title is completely wrong, as the film has nothing to do with Ronin. Go figure.
