Of Ronins and Identities

Soon after the aptitude thingy was done, I came home and slept it off.Then I started out to KR's house by 8 at night.Other demons such as Ananth, Shivi and Spang also enjoined at KR's and we saw two movies : Ronin and Identity.

Ronin:

Ronin was a total action packed, all business and this-guy-betraying-that-guy kind of movie.The movie starts off in France, where Sam joins with a group of unknown people, for completing the task of getting a metal case from someone.The group which Sam joins consists of Vincent, Dierdre, Gregor and Spence.All of them are independently chosen and sent for the operation except that they conglomerate at a place in France and get to know each other just before the operation.Their first operation however, is to get a bag of guns from some party, which they pull off successfully after some sharp shooting and cool driving.They get the information through Dierdre( FYI:a woman) for this deal and the next operation of retrieving that mysterious steel case from some stupid villain.Sam's way of going about the whole operation is what is the most interesting.He has a charm and grace about him and the way in which he does those manouvres, to prove his mettle and gain others' confidence.

After meticulous planning, they pull off the operation successfully.Just then one of their own, Gregor deceives them of the case and tries to make the bucks by working the deal directly with the Russian Mikhi, himself. We'll leave it here and its for you to find out more about the movie by watching it, for I don't want to spoil it for ya.



Robert De Niro as Sam amazes on screen with his acting.In Tamil I'd say "weightttu" for that role of his.Jean Reno as Vincent is also pretty impressive.Then there is Natascha McElhone playing Dierdre who is a babe, but her babe-ish potentials haven't been put to use on screen.But still the average viewer is able to realize that she can sizzle and has great potential for out-of-the-pool roles and other such roles.Stellan Skarsgard as Gregor and Sean Bean as Spence play their parts well enough to merit a mention.The movie is famous for its car-chase sequence which keeps you on the edge of your seats.Its beautiful choreographed through the narrow streets and tunnels of Paris.The director John Frankenheimer being a former racing driver has specialised in the car chase scenes, and has shot them with maximum authenticity.The term 'Ronin' however, is a reference to the masterless samurais who were active during the feudal period.They commited hara-kiri(or disembowelment), which in this movie is referred to a Seppuku or ritual suicide.Though no one comits suicide, the title is intended to denote the masterless agents in this movie.

Identity:



The next movie has an intriguing title.The movie simply is to be seen at night 2:30 (morning actually), obviously without lights, room closed, and if possible with a generally spooky friend.This movie if seen alone, might cause you to piss down your pants or aggravate hidden psychic instincts.I won't tell you anything at all about the movie here.You have to see it, get intrigued, rewind see scenes, scratch your head, rewind, scratch, rewind, scratch, realize and immediately run to the toilet to piss.If you're living alone there are chances the next victim might be you, as in the movie one by one of the victims get killed.Hehe, enticing ain't it? Well see for yourself with the above guidelines followed without fail.
PS:Watch out for Amanda Peet(decent woman in photo).Whoa!!
