There were some good elements to this film ? yet it didn?t quite work for me. Enjoyed Matt Dillan (and of course he Directed this film also), loved the not so typical choice of using Cambodia as the backdrop to the story and really enjoyed the music too. Pretty natural performa...( read more)
I actually think this was a great story but incredibly badly filmed. Nothing against any of the actors either but the camerawork to say the least was confusing. The viewer is left to presume quite a lot - and I am not someone who lives on presumptions.

Dillon commands centre-stage in a self-serving performance that strays way beyond vanity, leaving next to no room for his wasted cast and taking little advantage of Cambodia's romantic ruin.

Came to this one with no expectations, and was positively surprised. Dillon portrays the pretty much lost Jimmy, who can never seem to do the right thing.
unfortunately for me, i saw about the last 40% of the entire film and i loved it...now, i MUST see it in it's entirety...soon!

I didn't believe in James Caan's cons, but I believed him, and at times like that it's helpful to stop keeping score and live in the moment. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "City of Ghosts" !
