RONIN (Theatrical Release USA 1998)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Ronin—hard-hitting, exciting action film—holds its own twenty years after its original release date partly due to the terrific casting choices of Robert DeNiro, Jean Reno, Stellan Skarsgård, and Sean Bean. Definitely worth a watch for all action movie fans.
