Ghost of Tsushima, developed by Sucker Punch, was heavily influenced by samurai cinema, and now it is becoming a part of it. The movie adaptation has a strong concept to work with, but it will need to follow in the footsteps of its source material to live up to it. Sucker Punch Productions is an American studio, but the team took the necessary steps to make Ghost of Tsushima respectful of the Japanese history and culture it was based on. The film adaptation, helmed by Chad Stahelski, must do the same and more to live up to its potential. There are several things the Ghost of Tsushima movie can do to be both a great adaptation and a strong entry in the samurai movie genre.
