    Light hearted and touching

    Its a mix of Ghost meets Scarface . Part gangster drama , comedy and ghosts . Lots of laughs and the best laughs are at the end .

    A bit of a mess

    There are certainly quite a few funny individual scenes in this movie, but the overall story is not very good or captivating. It feels too random. This mafia guy suddenly receives a supernatural, spiritual gift and is supposed to become a shaman, but it's not really explained why and he is so goofy and kind of gay in this shaman role that he isn't believable as a gangster. And neither as a shaman actually. Maybe they should have pictured his gangster side more to bring out the contrast.

    Not really bad, but not good either.
