2D characters? I certainly didn't think so. Virtually every character in Ronin is multidimensional, albeit in a somewhat subtle sort of way. Frankenheimer did spend a lot of time on the racing scenes, but he in no way neglected the drama. One of the best movies of that year, and one of the best action films in a while.
Follow Ups:
The excellent actors did the very best that the script allowed, granted. But, the director didn't seem to be interested in that aspect. That was my point. He was much more interested in the cheap theatrics (the predecessor to CGI) than the story or character developement. To me the obvious charm of the movie was the "Diner"-ish aspect of it. That's what I wanted from the movie & was left wanting. I wasn't allowed to even care about any of the characters no matter how I tried. Plus, without the ability to care about anybody or antthing, the action had no suspense nor drama. Any clearer?
