Matt Dillon made a dynamic directorial debut with this feverishly atmospheric neonoir, which he cowrote with novelist (and David Lynch collaborator) Barry Gifford. Watch this CITY OF GHOSTS (2002) on the Criterion Channel.
After their insurance scam sparks an FBI investigation, front man Jimmy Cremmins (Dillon) flees to Cambodia to meet his mentor, Marvin (James Caan). But Jimmy gets more than he bargains for when Marvin draws him into a web of deceit and murder from which there may be no way out.
