I like Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd's character the most.  I can't wait to see him in the U.S. remake of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

He has a small role in Savior in which he's quite good.  I wished he had more screen time in that one, or perhaps had been the lead instead of whats-his-name.

"I don't particularly like you."  Great delivery.

I wish Larry had a little more development.  He was no super-spy, didn't even speak French, but he did his job and was a short-order cook to boot.

The flaws irritate me also. Self-surgery to remove an abdominal bullet?

He didn't actually operate on himself, though.

You're right, but even supervising in that situation?

What's the big deal? Anton Chigurh removed the shotgun pellets from his own leg in "No Country for Old Men", and Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlburg) drove all the way from Pittsburgh to Kentucky with three bleeding bullet wounds in "Shooter."

Piece of cake.

Just to make you a little jealous, the outside shootings of Ronin
were done right in the region I live. You see DeNiro waiting for somebody in Villefranche on the Harbor, one of the shootings takes place in La Turbie on the upper corniche road, one of the car races starts in the old town of Nice which barely allows enough space to let car pass through, but what I liked most was that Katti Witt got shot in that film, whatever happened to her?

I'm no expert on chase scenes or driving, but it's pretty sweet to have two great car chases in one film.
