_Ronin_ was a nice take on the "big caper" genre, and
interesting
thematically in that it really stuck to its mercenary
starting point. We
never do learn what De Niro's "dingus" is, he is just doing
his job,
from start to finish, whether for his assumed criminal bosses
or his
real CIA bosses. His code of honor is very hard-boiled, but I
wonder if
there aren't just a few too many explosions to make the cut.
