Che dire, un film che per me è diventato lentamente ma con certezza un mito. Non ricordo neanche come ho avuto il Dvd originale, acquistato forse perchè a buon prezzo, visto che questo film non lo conoscevo. E forse grazie ai momenti in cui l'ho visto, adesso per me questo capolavoro ha un'aurea magica, rilassante, very cool. Che dire della colonna sonora, mi sono dovuto procurare anche quella v... read more

"Jarmusch is the master of creating a very specific type of meditative atmosphere. Ghost Dog is philosophical and comical at the same time. Forest Whitaker's character (Ghost Dog) is incredibly alluring and his performance is understated and thoughtful. If anyone doesn't care about Ghost Dog by the end of the film then they must be a cold-hearted individual. A deep underlying sadness is at the forefront of this film, particularly in its treatment of death. "

"24.11.12. TV Jim Jarmuschin samuraielokuva on ymmärtänyt loistavasti hiphopkulttuurin ja itämaisten taisteluelokuvien välisen yhteyden. Samalla filmi kumartelee Scorsesen ja kavereiden toteuttamille väkivaltaelokuville. Musta, hiphoppia kuunteleva ja Rashomonia lukeva palkkatappaja joutuu ottamaan yhteen mafian kanssa. Asetelma ei ole kuitenkaan niin simppeli. Ghost Dogilla, eli samuraillamme, on sisäisessä maailmassaan pakka aivan sekaisin. Vuorostaan kaikki elokuvan niin sanotut pahi"
