On the other hand, "The Ronin" now tells almost not the story of a ronin, because "The King of Drama" De Niro is just pretending to be a ronin from beginning to end. The old man's dialogue can be seen. The white-bearded old man has been emphasizing the ronin's spirit of sacrifice, such as committing suicide by cutting his belly, being loyal to the original owner, etc., while De Niro babbles that life-saving is the most important thing, the plan needs to be detailed, and if there is a slight omission, an on-the-spot investigation is required. At least among these characters, De Niro is the one with the least ronin characteristics, and he is the focus of the whole film, from a replacement to the core of the team.
In my opinion, if you want to shoot Ronin, you have to mention Ronin's past, and because De Niro's undercover identity must be revealed at the end, so that these car experts, weapons experts, former secret police, etc. A functional label that has little knowledge of their past experiences and can only push the plot forward through the audience's inertial imagination.
If there is no character like De Niro, or De Niro's undercover character is explained to the audience at the beginning, and the focus on the so-called ronin's character description and behavior description, it may be closer to the white-bearded old man's heart. "The Ronin" story.
If there is no De Niro, Reno's performance will be more natural. In the film, he is like De Niro's sidekick. It's because he has become a so-called "hero knows hero" best friend: you save my life, and I will pay you back. So live to the end.
If there is no De Niro, the expert team can have a lot of room to play, just like the death of the car expert, when he was asked for directions by the terrorist leader before his death, he was not vigilant at all, and he also showed very unprofessional irritability. And there is more than one unprofessional person, and the weapons expert will make the low-level mistake of blocking the shot. Alas, I found a bunch of bad people to carry out the task.
Had it not been for De Niro, the death of the world skating champion might not have been so inexplicable, so cruel, maybe more roundabout, and hateful writer and director when most people hoped Natasha would have survived Pulled the trigger. The beautiful figure disappeared above the ice.
If there was no De Niro, the heroine would not be so idiot now. After being kissed by De Niro, she simply rode on De Niro's thigh. And the emotional descriptions that follow are especially far-fetched. De Niro is either a playboy or he has never been able to get true love. If he is a playboy, he is naturally loved by women, and his infinite charm is close to 007. If he has never been able to get true love, how could it be such a coincidence in a mission Meeting a real person?
