1h 56m
Directed by Matt Dillon • 2002 • United States
Starring Matt Dillon, James Caan, Natascha McElhone
Matt Dillon made a dynamic directorial debut with this feverishly atmospheric neonoir, which he cowrote with novelist (and David Lynch collaborator) Barry Gifford. 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, against a backdrop of raw, dangerous beauty and ever-shifting loyalties, Marvin draws him into a web of deceit and murder from which there may be no way out. Evocative location shooting in the Cambodian jungle and supporting turns from Gerard Depardieu and Stellan Skarsgård add plenty of color to this propulsive pulp thriller.
