    Rules of Engagement

    ★★

    Unrealistic for two reasons:

    1) portrait of Al Gore as president
    2) he would have gotten a medal for killing 83 Yemenis not a court-martial

    Criterion Collection Challenge 2025

    This is such a great movie. No flashy gimmicks, just 12 actors in a single room giving some absolutely incredible and memorable performances. Everyone was complex, the way they acted, thought, spoke just felt real.
    This is cinema in its purest and rawest form. I shouldn’t have put off this movie for so long.

    I wish Justice was a real thing.

    Criterion Collection Challenge 2025

    I thought this movie was gonna be silly from the name and premise but the shots, the soundtrack, the action and really the coolness oozing from ghost dog draws you in and doesn’t let go. He’s not cosplaying as a samurai, he really is one, just on the wrong continent and century. He shows so much respect to everyone around him, even the villains, and especially the animals. He’s a sort of philosopher assassin.
