There is so much to admire in Matt Dillon's City of Ghosts that the feeling left over after watching it is an unsettling sense of disappointment and unfairness.

While it won't be remembered as great cinema, it is actually a tight piece of film noir.

While the film is not short on ideas or implications, none of them is fully developed, leaving us little but atmosphere and warm whiskey to drink in.

can be criticised of many things, but wasting locations and local talent is not one of them
