This week's suggestion is called Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai.Forest Whitaker portrays a thoughtful antihero, a modern-day hit man who lives by the code of the samurai, who has sworn to protect the mafia member who saved his life. Things soon turn nasty when the mob put a hit out on him.
This is a really interesting movie - mixing action and philosophy, mafia and samurai, modern and ancient.
I found a couple problems with the realness of some of the action scenes, and it has an odd flow to it. It's not a typical Hollywood action flick. But that's the point here.
