I remember Ronin was the first film I saw Sean Bean in. Excellent performance. I'll never forget the scene in which the team is planning an ambush and his character suggests placing people on either side of a street for an ambush on a passing car, and De Niro's character points out the obvious problem of friendly fire in the plan hahahaha The build-up, the tense silence, the metal cup on the small table. Everything in that scene was great.

What makes me chuckle about that line is that De Niro says the town name completely wrong and Sean Bean’s character has such low knowledge of the place he doesn’t notice. The place is pronounced herrerfud, De Niro calls it Hear-a-fud.

Obviously that scene is more memorable, but De Niro tested him with a cup too ("Good reflexes" / "They die hard.")

im pretty sure Deniro called him exfil LMAO i was pissing my pants. I think the line was "draw it again Mr. Ex-Fil draw what you saw" or something like that.

Technically, one of the few movies Sean Bean doesn't die in. But his character was totally murdered in this scene.

I wish they let that character in the whole movie. Yes he’s bound to get the team killed, but he’s hilarious. Talking all that tough talk…… then vomits. Pure comedy

Agreed. What a hilarious touch to have the character toss his cookies. 'A bit of raspberry jam, innit?'

This is a plan that Saddam Hussein actually executed early in his career, resulting in friendly fire.
