Extremely average heist/spy thriller with very little character development. Has some decent chase scenes which elevate the film somewhat.

Former special forces soldiers and intelligence operatives—Spence (Sean Bean), Larry (Skipp Sudduth), Gregor (Stellan Skarsgård), Vincent (Jean Reno), and Sam (Robert De Niro) are tasked to steal a mysterious briefcase.

Ronin boasts great car chases, CIA, Russian mobs and friendship among its figures.

It also has a very "European" flavour, not only because of the continental locations, but also the lack of shaky cam or over-saturated colour filters and a cast featuring real actors instead of underwear models make it feel a million miles from your …
