“Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai” (1999)

When a job goes wrong and threatens the interests of the Mafia family, Ghost Dog becomes a target himself. As the mob moves to eliminate him, he navigates the city with calm discipline, reflecting on loyalty, fate, and the meaning of the warrior’s path in a modern urban world. Blending crime drama with philosophical reflection, the film explores themes of honor, cultural identity, solitude, and the clash between ancient tradition and contemporary life.
