Movie - Number 10

Number ten on the list of my favorite movies is RONIN.  It's a 1998 movie starring Robert De Niro, Natascha McElhone and Jean Reno.
Ronin in real life are unattached samurai who have lost their liege lord and have not committed suicide in the accepted fashion, and roam around the countryside - a danger to many people.
In the film a disparate group of spies, hired killers and other odd sorts gather in Paris to carry out a mission.  The mission itself is not very important, but the interaction among the group is fascinating as are the car chases around Paris.
The music is by Elia Cmiral, and adds significantly to the film - it's #10!
