Reviewers highlight it as one of Jim Jarmusch's best works and commend Forest Whitaker's standout performance. The film is described as a timeless, bad-ass piece that still holds up.
One of my favorite Jim Jarmusch films and one of my favorite Forest Whittaker performances. Just a completely bad-ass film that still hold up.
Great movie if you’re a fan of eastern philosophies…. Part of the enjoyment of the movie is watching Ghost Dog trying to exist in a modern world that really has no connection to the code by which he lives. While the film throws in some comedic effects, I can’t help but think if they made this into a more serious action movie they might have had a hit franchise on their hands. Either way, it’s worth a watch.
An exceptional work from Jim Jarmusch. A perfect rainy-day movie. Philosophical, beautiful and packed with exceptional tunes courtesy of RZA.
