When an international team of former intelligence agents meet in a deserted warehouse in Paris, they have no idea that they are about to embark on the most complex and deadly mission of their careers. Like the honored masterless Samurai of hundreds of years ago, these modern day Ronin must pursue, without questioning, a mysterious briefcase for an unknown employer, that will make them rivals for its secret and ultimately, their own lives. Intense, riveting car chases through picturesque Paris streets and plenty of cold-blooded ambush. Not for the weak of stomach.
Directed by John Frankenheimer - Rated R
Of all of the action movies that come out, this is one that has a mind of its own. It has a story that keeps you attentive and watching. All you want to know is what's in the case. Even though you never find out, there is a message that Jean Reno says at the end that really proves the point that it isn't necessary to know what's in it. "Just accept it and move on." Overall, this had to have been one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is full of action, incredible car chases, and DeNiro. He and Reno did an excellent job together. And one of the best things is that they fit the actual story of the 47 Ronin in with this mercenary movie. This is a movie I definately watch over and over again. "The best action movie!" "A gripping thriller!" "DeNiro and Reno light up the screen!" "*****!"
