In Reply to: Try John Woo's "The Killer" or "Hardboiled", they make "Ronin" look like an episode of "F Troop" (nt) posted by Rob Doorack on November 6, 2000 at 10:51:24:
They are among the most naive outgrowth of the 007 movies. Their level of believability is as close to zero as it gets. They really are parodies, not movies.Ronin, by comparisson, is surely removed from reality, but not in a childish way, so one can still connect to it and feel like they are watching something moderately real.
Watching someone hit by fifty bullets still alive, fly through the air shooting non-stop from two Beretta's hitting five adversaries with every bullet is not my idea of an action movie. It is your typical super-hero stuff, Batman revisited.
Plus Ronin set new standard for car chases - these are simply without equal.
