Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai 1999
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.
