Ronin

1998 was quite a year, we got Celebrity Deathmatch, learned that Sonny Bono couldn’t ski, and we received John Frankenheimer’s spy thriller/car-chase extravaganza, Ronin. Ronin is the story of a patchwork group of specialized espionage agents who are tasked with stealing a briefcase from a group of well-armed somebodies. This flick stars an ensemble cast featuring Robert DeNiro, Jean Reno, Sean Bean, and some other familiar faces that can really deliver on screen. A modest success, Ronin brought in a scritch over $70 million on a $55 million budget and mostly positive reviews but, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate whether this one has fulfilled its honour or should have committed seppuku.
