I was watching Ronin this morning for the 100th time probably and I started to think what is Vincent's (Jean Reno) background.  Any answer would be hypothetical because the movie never tells you.  I figure he uses a Beretta, maybe Italian Police or their equivilant to the CIA.  Dont forget he has that friend, the one that introduces the Ronin concept.  That friend seems to have a lot of knowledge and connections in the spy world, after all he helped them located the Irish woman, Irish man, and the ex-KGB agent.  Just a thought.

He is French. So I just presumed he was/is a former French Intelligence agent. But then again he could be current like DeNiro, too.

Quoted:
Whoever he is, none of them can do an ambush to save their lives.
I almost like Bean's idea better.



The general set up of the ambush wasn't that bad. They just didn't do a very good job disabling the mark's cars.

They had more than enough firepower too, that wasn't the problem.  Should have had two guys with the heavy stuff--one for the lead car and one to disable the other car at the scene, then a third to blast on the mark's car to try and disable it.

Well his friend, where Deniro gets patched up, is/was obviously connected into the intel community

I figured that's why she wasn't coming to the cafe before I saw that, but preferred it without knowing for sure.

I thought all of the "hired muscle" were G-men but the faker..  Every one of the player's were acting as Ronin to their masters (Their governmetns or causes).

What's this alternate ending? My DVD doesn't have one. I don't think, haven't checked the special features in a while.

It should be there, my version is the $9 Wal Mart copy, and it's got it.
It shows Diedra lurking outside the cafe at th end, deciding if she wants to go in, and then all of a sudden a van drives up and a bunch of thugs throw her in, she screams, they say "want to see what happens when you betray us?" or something like that... van screeches off.

I dug my movie out about 45 min. ago and looked. It has it. I just didn't remember it.

I like not knowing what happened to her. Is she a "true" professional and would never show up? Or did something happen to her? Leaving the question hanging makes a better ending.

The ambush went wrong if I remember right.  They orginally intended on stoping the marks car earlier in the chase.  I believe the Audi was supposed to stop on the road outside of town.
