Factual error: When Gregor shoots the guy in the car after nearly killing the little girl, blood sprays over the window, but there's no bullet hole. If the bullet exited his head, hence spraying blood, it should have gone through the window too. (00:55:00)
Ronin (1998)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: John Frankenheimer
Starring: Robert De Niro, Sean Bean, Jean Reno, Stellan Skarsgard, Jonathan Pryce, Natascha McElhone, Michael Lonsdale, Katarina Witt
Gregor attempts to sell the briefcase to the Russians. But instead of paying him, they decide to just shoot him. Gregor however, sets up a plan that if he doesn't make contact with a sniper aiming their rifle at one of the Russian's ice-skating protege, the sniper will open fire and kill her. The Russian shoots Gregor in the head and the ice skater gets shot and killed. As the Russians try to flee, being tailed by Sam and Vincent, Seamus shoots both the Russians and tries to escape with the case. Dierdre (persuased by Sam) drives away and leaves Seamus behind. Sam follows Seamus into a room, where Seamus shoots Sam in the arm. Vincent thens shoots Seamus and saves Sam's life. The final scene shows Sam and Vincent sharing a last conversation together. They mention the rules and Sam leaves with the mewspaper man he met earlier (leaving the viewer to assume he still works for the CIA). Vincent leaves and narrates rule number three.

Trivia: In many of the stunt car scenes you can see the actors apparently driving. The producers used British RHD cars and fitted phoney steering wheels on the passenger sides to make it look as if the stars were really driving.

Answer: It's a while since I've seen the movie but if I'm remembering correctly, the meet was at short notice. Gregor had the case prepped for the swap but didn't have a chance to paint it in enough time for the paint to dry properly.
