Le Samouraï

As the tag line goes this is a part gangster part samurai flick though in my book it more of a ronin flick. Very well shot with smoothly transitioned frames shows Jef Costello, an assassin for hire, precisely planning his killings. The movie tries to portray bushido in a western setting but leaves you feeling empty at the end which is very different from mu-shin. If you feel like watching this, I suggest that you curtail the urge and watch Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai instead.
