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

I watched the first 20 minutes. It was atrocious. The action scenes were similar to something I could have done with a bunch of friends and a video camera. Even if you like bad films, this film is not worth watching. The only thing more pointless and time wasting is writing comments on the film which took over 20 minutes of my life. I could have had an epiphany in that time and I will never know what might have been had I not watched that incredibly poor film.I should say the female lead is very unattractive for a femme fatale. The acting, writing & directorship seem to be from the field of made for TV movies except this should never have been made for TV. It should never have been made unless it was used as an example of what not to do when making a film.

This pile of garbage was actually shown on BBC1 in the UK last night. I can't believe they had the temerity to even show it. Crap direction, some of the worste dialogue ever recorded, dreadful editing and atrocious acting. What the f*** were Michael Madsen and Brad Dourif doing in this film??????? The only saving grace was the wheelchair bound black guy with no legs, his fight scenes were just downright hilarious.

Thank God for foreign distribution, without it, this film would not have made any money. This movie had to look good on paper, because it looked terrible on film. Bad direction, followed by terrible editing. I caught this film at 1 am on Cinemax of all places. Not that it fit the Cinemax mild porn style flick. This was a Kung Fu wanna be low budget midnight movie that only members of the cast's family would sit down and watch. All kidding aside, why was this movie made? If not for some of the B-Movie acting names that starred in this piece of garbage, I can't see any investor wanting to throw 2 cents to this film. Thank God for the foreign market, at least they had a billion Chinese people they could sell this flick to. Long story short, bad movie, except for the fighting sequences, the direction in this film was God awful. Except for Michael Madsen's average bad guy attitude, the acting was unbearable. Save you money and just buy the popcorn.
