About this movie

East meets West in this hip-hop infused samurai-gangster pic in which Forest Whitaker plays a professional killer who goes by the name of Ghost Dog and who lives by the age-old code of the Samurai. When Ghost Dog's code is dangerously betrayed by the dysfunctional mafia family that occasionally employs him, he must find a way to defend himself without breaking the code of the Samurai.

Ratings and reviews

Most of the low reviews of this film are from folks who love the movie, but want a purchase option. Nuts! Rate the movie not googles licensing, please. The acting is excellent, screenplay superb, score is perfect. Violent, and with some complex themes, it may not be for everyone

Wu Tang & Brooklyn and Someone kind to pigeons- what more can you ask for? Oh, maybe Forrest Whitaker tryng to follow an strict ethical code in a in the unethical world he finds himself him.

What about a purchase?! I want to buy this movie. I gave one star because more options are needed.
