San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham
Jim Jarmusch has come up with something strange and amazing. more
Baltimore Sun Ann Hornaday
A thoroughly absorbing, even transfixing, journey to a future that may already be upon us.
L.A. Weekly Ernest Hardy
Laced with brilliantly knotted ideas on race, masculinity and cults of violence. more
Film.com Peter Brunette
What makes the film so special is that while tickling your postmodern funnybone, it never forgets to make you care for its characters, in a welcome, and almost traditional way. more
Los Angeles Times Eric Harrison
It's a nearly pitch-perfect melding of genres, influences and modes of expression--it's the first Mafia movie for the hip-hop age. more
Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
It's the kind of movie you wish you had more time to absorb and could see more than once before reviewing. more
New York Daily News Jack Mathews
Perversely funny. more
Entertainment Weekly Ty Burr
The result has the dingy grace of pigeons flying across an urban wasteland. more
Dallas Observer Gregory Weinkauf
This infusion of warrior philosophy is the gas in Ghost Dog's tank, and Jarmusch pumps it up for maximum octane throughout. more
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Weirdly intriguing. more
