Ronin **
(First Viewing)

Ronin is the Japanese word used for Samurai without a master. In this case, the Ronin are outcast specialists of every kind, whose services are available to everyone - for money. Dierdre (undoubtedly from Ireland) hires several Ronin to form a team in order to retrieve an important suitcase from a man who is about to sell it to the Russians. After the mission has been completed successfully, the suitcase immediately gets switched by a member of the team who seems to work into his own pocket. The complex net of everyone tricking everyone begins to surface slowly, and deadly.

Robert De Niro and Jean Reno worked well together. Natascha McElhone & Stellan SkarsgÄrd were enjoyable as well. The storline seemed interesting but I got bored of the case switching hands so many times. I was more interested in seeing the teams complete tasks. Overall a decent movie.
