Stunning offbeat hitman movie
Review date: 2008-08-25 Rating: 10 out of 10

This is a real gem - a cool, Eastern influenced assassin movie. It has a great performance from Forest Whitaker and some stunning action, as well as a heart and soul that place it well above the above hitman movie. This is a brilliant film, strongly recommended.

A MISSED HIT!
Review date: 2008-07-06 Rating: 10 out of 10

This brilliantly-made Arthouse drama by directing legend Jim Jarmusch surely deserves the highest credit. Why so many people haven't even heard about it I never will understand, as it was one of the best films of its year. The story focuses on an assassin (Forest Whitaker in unquestionable one of his best performances) who lives strictly by the Hagakure - the way of the samurai.

Overlooked and neglected
Review date: 2008-07-01 Rating: 10 out of 10

I saw this film about 6 years ago and I am still surprised how many people haven't even heard of it. Whitaker is an ultra cool asassin who strictly adheres to the honour code of the samurai. The film is shot in a dream like manner and the sound track, by Wu-Tang member The Rza, perfectly captures the culture clash of eastern values meets western inner-city street life. Definitely one to own.
