Forest Whitaker, Cliff Gorman, Henry Silva, Tricia Vessey, Richard Portnow, Rza.
Jim Jarmusch combines his love for the ice-cool crime dramas with the philosophical dimensions of samurai mythology for an eccentrically postmodern take on the hit-man thriller. In one of his defining roles, Forest Whitaker brings a commanding serenity to his portrayal of a Zen contract killer working for a bumbling mob outfit, a modern man who adheres steadfastly to the ideals of the Japanese warrior code even as chaos and violence spiral around him.
Rating: R; for strong violence and language.
DVD, wide screen (1.85:1 aspect ratio); 5.1 surround.
English dialogue; English subtitles; subtitled for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH).
