Ronin

Despite some pretty dodgy sound effects, and some even dodgier accents (the Irish in particular is truly terrifying), Ronin actually turns out to be a decent enough timewaster movie. A great location piece centred entirely in France, its top notch cast deliver an engaging and involving story really quite well. And provided you're able to suspend your disbelief long enough to be happy with the idea that all small French hatchbacks immediately burst into flames when they hit another vehicle, it'll easily keep you guessing (but more importantly, entertained) for a good couple of hours.

I think we're all agreed; that inch and a half of menu chalkboard seems like more than adequate protection for a shoot out.
