I would just like to voice the idea that Ghost Dog was in no way a Samurai. Bushido does not advocate murder of an unarmed person. Assassins were ninjas and hated by Samurai as honorless.... Full review

This movie is great, because it gets to the heart of something that is missing from society today, Honor. I am sure that the people who gave this movie D's and F's were expecting something really ignorant and one dimensional, like... Full review

Basically, Jim Jarmush's best (and most accessible) film; Forrest Whitaker's best performance (and the best performances by a host of little recognized but worthy character actors), the best sound track, best music from the RZA; - I mean, '90's film-making... Full review
