Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Trades more effectively in states of alienated atmospheric delirium than it does the specific mechanics of plot.
– Geoff Pevere,

9 May 2003
fresh:
A long, winding, but decently layered modern film noir.
– Kathy Cano Murillo,

rotten:
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.
– Terry Lawson,

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

rotten:
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.
