Ghost Dog, a down-on-his-luck hit man, gets hired by some mobsters to do a job, only to find he's been double-crossed. After realizing that he is the target of the next hit, Ghost Dog consults his bible, the Chinese warrior mantra known as the "Book of Samurai," to knock off each of his adversaries in unique and humorous ways.

CinemaSense,
"Moods and themes drive this brooding, almost meditative story of a modern hit man who lives by ancient Samurai code." Full Review...
