Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

"Ghost Dog" reminds one of "Blade Runner" with its code of violent struggle for power and perpetual war. The racist ghetto ruled by organized crime is the milieu of the African American samurai disciplined warrior and assassin for the mob, Ghost Dog, but this film ends in a cycle of desolation, and as in "Rashomon" all are implicated in crime. There is a child, Ghost Dog's friend, who possibly will seek a higher life of enlightenment, but not much chance for this kind of world, as Ghost Dog's mystical lessons have taught her. Eerie wonderful music..
