Ghost Dog (Forrest Whitaker) is New York City's feared, and innovative, hitman. What makes him so unique is his practice of the Code of the Samurai. Although befriend by a little girl (Camille Winbush) and a French guy who sells ice cream (Issach De Bankole), he is betrayed by a mafia family after accidentally shooting a member. All that is left to do is defend himself only with the Code of the Samurai.

The review of this Movie prepared by A.D. Tandy




Ghostdog is a strict believer in the samurai way of life. One day he is beaten up and a man stops the beating. When a deed like this is done for a samurai, he must return the favor. He becomes a hit man for the mob as gratitude. The accurately explains the life of a samurai. The director of the movie, Jim Jarmusch, is from Akron, Ohio. I live in Ohio. An Ohioian at the helm of Ghostdog is an added bonus.
