A professional assassin who lives by the ancient code of the samurai finds himself targeted by his Mafia bosses.
Ghost Dog, a rare venture into genre films for Jim Jarmusch, allows the writer-director to frequently quote, reference, and build upon many classics in his own quirkily deadpan, deceptively honest way.
Dog's unglamorous community of gangsters is reminiscent of John Cassavetes' hoods and lowlifes in
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, but—this being Jarmusch—an understated absurdist wit frequently underlies the drama.
