...film--what its maker calls "a gangster, hip-hop, samurai eastern western"--is about the gang that couldn't shoot straight and the killer for hire who can't stop shooting. The gang is a boneyard of Mafia dinosaurs in North Jersey (Tony Soprano's turf). They stare numbly at old cartoons and are months behind in the rent for their clubhouse. Next to them, Ghost Dog (Forest Whitaker) is both modern and ageless. His cyber-age artillery and acute aim make him the ideal hit man. Between gigs he plays hip-hop CDs in whatever car he has stolen...

Anger could muster only brief marches through the Bronx neighborhood where the shooting occurred. One man raised his infant son in the air and pointed to the color of the child's skin.

Dust off that hobbyhorse, limber up and get ready for FM playtime...

My marker is gone and in its place is $10 worth of his money. At first, I shoot my new friend a mean look. But, from beneath his Fubu ski cap, he shoots me a meaner one. I demur. He's gone after two hands and I resume my place...
