Ghost Dog: the Way of the Samurai

Solid

     I love those old Samurai movies, and there are a lot of Samurai books, both fiction and non-fiction, on my shelves.  One of my all time favorite films is Ronan with De Niro, Jean Reno and Sean Bean, the Samurai theme makes the movie even more interesting. 

     Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai was a reach for me.  I enjoyed it; even saw it twice.  I can see a younger guy really getting into.  As a mater of fact, the young bucks around HugeReviews.com, all give it higher ratings than I do.  But they havent' stepped up to write a review yet.  I must tell you this I am rewriting this review after 4-years.  They rave about it, but...you know.  

     Their commentary on the US Mafia in the late 1990s was thought provoking, and some of those scenes were belly-laughers.  Next time your at the video store and don't know what to get, pick this one up.  If you're over 40, be warned, it's a little out there, but worth the time - much better than watching something on TV.

     And, hey, let me know what you think of the film.  Just push the link below and type in your review.
