    This action thriller has two really great car chases, and the gun battle hit the mark. However, the performances are also good, and overall, the movie chooses intelligence over idiocy, resulting in a taut, tight and nimble thriller.

    Sometimes, it's okay to say that a movie's technical and visceral achievements are enough to make it great. In this otherwise reasonably good caper film, Frankenheimer manages to include the two best car chases ever put to film. More realistic than Bullitt, better than the Blues Brothers, the car chases are more-than-worthy successors to his camera-work in "Grand Prix" That';s worthy of a high rating.… Expand

    Ronin manages to remain focused on the plot and the characters, even while staging increasingly complicated pyrotechnic set pieces and offering its share of white-knuckle moments.

    Although laced with adrenaline and flavored with noirish seasoning, John Frankenheimer's Ronin is a disappointingly conventional thriller.

    It remains head and shoulders above what little competition there is by virtue of its stellar casting, editing, and above all, Frankenheimer's fluid, explosive direction.
