Synopsis Live By The Code. Die By The Code. East meets West in this hip-hop infused samurai-gangster pic in which Forest Whitaker plays a professional killer who goes by the name of Ghost Dog and who lives by the age-old code of the Samurai. When Ghost Dog's code is dangerously betrayed by the dysfunctional mafia family that occasionally employs him, he must find a way to defend himself without breaking the code of the Samurai.

Empire Review Hip Hop Samurai...you'll be surprised, I was! - 3.5 out of 5  (6/20/2001) Ghost Dog simply put, is one of the most unique, kick ass movies I've ever seen. Ok, let me explain. The movie follows the life of a spiritually driven, and deep hitman(Forrest Whitaker) as he lives out his life of "debt" to a gangster who saved his life years before. What? Yeah, I know.

Ghostdog is just another gangster movie with the usual indestructible hitman. The quirky characters and cult cartoons seem forced, a failed attempt at Tarantino cool. And, worst of all for me, Ghostdog we   more >>
