Ronin

Post by Ensign9 »

This movie is freaking great. I think it’s got the best car chases of all time, with apologies to Tom Cruise and Vin Diesel.

Yeah that chase scene is excellent. Top tier cast also.

Watch Ronin while in your bent position.

I also need to rewatch this. I remember being super into it when it came out, but I barely remember anything about it now.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It's pretty great and yeah still ranks as one of the best car chase scenes in film. One of the last great Deniro movies (IMO) before his career took a pretty significant plunge in quality through the 00's and 10's
