“I Just Ambushed You With a Cup of Coffee” – A Masterclass in Intimidation from Ronin (1998). The film is filled with tests, both spoken and unspoken. From the legendary “What’s in the case?” mystery to the brutal car chases, Ronin is all about professionals feeling each other out, knowing that one mistake can mean death. In a film where trust is a scarce commodity, “good reflexes” isn’t just about grabbing a coffee cup—it’s about proving you’re sharp enough to stay in the game.
