Personal response to ronin

Hmm, this was an ok film. Now i'm sure it would have been an incredible film, however i just watched Casino the day before. I know this isn't meant to be a comparison yet still i couldn't help but feel a lack of empathy that i did formally have with mr Rothstien. Looking at the film by itself i did enjoy the film, it just didn't grab me enough, the car chases were nice and all that. However i felt that it dangled somewhere between a blockbuster and a gritty car chase film. Now i dont really have an issue with that, its just nothing jumped out at me. Of course de Niro gives a stella performance, just not his best (which i suppose he has a lot to live up to)
