Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Dir: Jim Jarmusch
1999
****
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai was an unexpected change of pace from director Jim Jarmusch and an even more surprising performance from Forest Whitaker. Ghost Dog oozes cool, it bleeds it, it sweats it. Jarmusch balances action, drama and just that little bit of comedy perfectly. This is one of Whitaker's best performances and that's saying something considering his exceptional body of work. Jim Jarmusch is one of those few directors where I can confidently say has directed at least one film that caters to everyone's taste.
