Well, the guns are self explanatory. As for the rest? This would be an ideal homework project for a class of media students, write 500 words on one chosen aspect of Ghost dog.
First off, the cinematography is excellent, beautifully renditioned colour pallet, perfect framing, effective slow transitions and fades to blacks, all give this a unique but slow tempo, nothing seems rushed or jarring.
Likewise, the simplistic eccentric soundtrack and selected music tracks keep the tempo plodding along to its own steady Samurai's heartbeat. Production wise, it's a 9/10.
Unfortunately It does not seem to know what type of film it is? It's not an out and out Tarantino stylised blood fest, nor is it a comedic gangster spoof, or a serious study of the way of the Samurai, or a inner city crime drama.
At times it is cringeworthy, in acting and dialogue, and plot, though that may be a deliberate attempt at comedy? It's a mixed bag, one that you will get out of it whatever you want to.
