Ronin (M) Presented in 35mm

Ronin at Revival House Perth

Enter the shadowy world of international espionage with John Frankenheimer's masterful 1998 thriller! Robert De Niro leads an ensemble cast of former intelligence operatives - modern-day "ronin" (masterless samurai) - hired to steal a mysterious briefcase from heavily armed criminals. As the mission unfolds across the streets of France, shifting loyalties and hidden agendas turn allies into enemies in a deadly game where trust is a luxury no one can afford.

Frankenheimer, the legendary director of "The Manchurian Candidate," brings his expertise in paranoid thrillers to create one of the greatest action films of the 1990s. The film features some of cinema's most spectacular car chases through the streets of Paris and Nice, filmed with practical effects and real stunt driving that puts modern CGI to shame.

De Niro anchors the film as Sam, a cool professional whose true identity remains tantalizingly unclear, while Jean Reno, Stellan Skarsgård, and Sean Bean round out the international cast of mercenaries. David Mamet's sharp screenplay (credited as Richard Weisz) crackles with intelligence and wit.
