My DVD must have been in the wrong box..........., 30 November 2008
10/10
Author: merklekranz from United States

This is either the worst case of marketing, or my DVD was in the wrong box. The case says "The Ghost" is "a provocative action thriller". I say this is one of the best action black comedies ever. Everything, the acting, the action, the over the top dialog, all confirm that nothing is to be taken seriously, and if you go in expecting "Enter the Dragon", you will be vastly disappointed. If on the other hand, you think you might enjoy a film with Brad Dourif and Michael Madsen surrounded by quirky characters, with a clever script, with nicely done fight scenes, and a very intriguing leading lady assassin, then seek this one out. It is fast paced, deserving a much higher IMDb rating (thus my 10) and was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommended. - MERK
