Ronin is on more than one list of "Ten Best Movie Car Chases", and that includes Car And Driver's Ten Best List I think....Sure the plotline was a bit convoluted and lame, but those BMWs, Audis and Benzes were fun to watch.

People are always talking up Bullit, but for my money Ronin is one of the best car chases ever filmed. Choice autos pushing it to the max, Frankenheimer is a car freak, so he used cars (and drivers) that have a lot of soul, I think that is one of the things that make it so special.
Personally, I really don't think the plot line is lame at all. Maybe the chase scenes have gone to my head.
