Today we have in our blog an alternative movie directed by an “alternative” director: Matt Dillon. If as an actor he doesn't have too much talent, as director is more or less the same. City of Ghosts is a simple story about an original topic: Insurance frauds after a natural disaster. However the initial plot changes towards a strange story of mafia, corruption and kidnapping. Clearly the strongest point of the movie are the Cambodian landscapes. The poorest and most danger Cambodia's face is showed in this film. The rest is simply ok but, as debut, is not too promising for Dillon director career.
Mark: 6,6
To remember: To Depardieu playing the role of a dirty hostel's manager.
To forget: The original approach changes completely (for worse).
