Mixing genres, film techniques, and humor, the eccentric filmmaker gives us a hip-hop hero much like Super Fly, if he had been converted while trippin’ in the Far East. Amusing, never linear, but it is impossible for me to ultimately enjoy a film that uses “the” swear word 75 times, alone. “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths…” Ephesians 4:29. “Ghost Dog” profanes God’s name and, like many Kung Fu movies, it pummels the audience while maintaining the theme that violence is bad. And although Mr. Whitaker is a fine actor, here his role is that of a hip killer who also steals cars.
