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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
A long, winding, but decently layered modern film noir.
Trades more effectively in states of alienated atmospheric delirium than it does the specific mechanics of plot.
