• Above the Law (1988)

  [5/10]

  "Admittedly a formula movie, but one that works well within the formula and still provides a satisfying time for action fans."

• Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)

  [6/10]

  "Jim Jarmusch creates an interesting mood of honor and despair. Ghost Dog comfortably follows the samurai code, which Ghost Dog regularly presents as voiced over narrative accompanied by the text of the code on the screen -- in the style of a PBS biographical documentary."

  Average score: 5.50
