Roger Ebert wrote, “It helps to understand that the hero of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is crazy. Of course he is.” The film stars Forest Whitaker as this crazy hero, a modern day mafia hit man greatly inspired by the old ways of the samurai, plus it features a soundtrack by the RZA. So, you know it’s good. It’s an inventive and surreal twist on the gangster film as Ghost Dog is a loyal contract killer who is now the target after a job gone wrong. Just remember, “The Way of the Samurai is one of immediacy, and it is best to dash in headlong.”
