Episode description

A look back at John Frankenheimer's spy-action film Ronin (1998). Alec discusses discovering the film later on and how it holds up under repeat viewings. Ben talks about how the movie is structured and styled after films made decades earlier. Alec explains a Bourne Identity connection to the film. The guys re-evaluate the stacked cast including Robert De Niro, Jean Reno, Sean Bean, Natascha McElhone, and Stellan Skarsgard. Alec explains how good De Niro's dialogue in the film is. Ben mentions the film's alternate ending and how the film handles collateral damage. Join Cinema: A to B for a discussion on an often overlooked and underappreciated piece of 90s cinema.
