A hired African American killer, who lives under the "Hagakure" Code of the Samurai, is hired for the murder of a mobster. During the execution of the contract, an eyewitness is there, creating a problem in the evolution of the murder. From this moment onwards, the bosses want him dead ...
Live by the Code, die by the Code. Jim Jarmush takes a hit at contemporary ethics and criminals, with a touch of melancholy, within the meaning of fine lines and balances. Modern-era hitmen, Samurai ethics, hip hop and Black culture and the shaky ethics of living outside and against the law. For real people with real values only.
Forest Whitaker probably gives his life-time quality performance. Balancing gracefully through Jim Jarmush's ironic, poetic and smart scenes under the sounds of old-school hip-hop RZA-style, Whitaker is the Last Samurai way before Tom Cruise. Flanked by John Tormey, Isaac De Bankole and Camille Winbush, he really gets him message through : Do not be compatible with any new reality and always choose a law and a code to live by.
Must watch this : on a regular September afternoon with a cup of green tea. After the film, spend some time meditating on some tripped-out tunes like that and then go out and look for a reason to beat down a random motherfucker that deserves it. The only way to let off steam!
