Summary |
East meets West in this hip-hop infused samurai-gangster story in which a professional killer goes by the name of Ghost Dog and lives by the age-old code of the samurai. When Ghost Dog's code is dangerously betrayed by the dysfunctional mafia family that occasionally employs him, he must find a way to defend himself without breaking the code of the samurai. |
