"No other filmmaker has made such a
bold statement about the parallels of societal violence that exist between
cultures, whether Ancient Eastern, Mafioso, or Urban gangster. Fans of any of
the three genres will be sure to enjoy this one."
--Athan Bezaitis - Filmcritic.com discussion to follow, all are welcome to participate Jim Jarmusch's spiritual gangster film tells the story of
an inner-city hit man who lives on a rooftop, training himself as a samurai
in the strictest sense. Forest Whitaker plays Ghost Dog, samurai disciple,
carrier pigeon keeper, and for ten years the devoted retainer to an aging
mafia foot soldier named Louie (John Tormey). When one of Ghost Dog's
contract murders goes wrong — the don's daughter Louise (Tricia Vessey)
is a witness — her father, Vargo (Henry Silva), decides that to save
face, he must have the killer "neutralized." The rest of the film
follows Ghost Dog's calculated efforts to survive, as he takes out the gang
members while attempting to maintain his ceremonious, mutually respectful
relationship with Louie. The film's acclaimed score and soundtrack was
produced by the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA. Interview
