Have you seen the movie "City of Ghosts?"
Sort of a noirish thriller about seedy American investors in Cambodia who run afoul of local gangsters.

It's not a great movie by any means. But it's good in the sense that it's a flawed film that makes you think about it more because it's not that great.

I bring it up because of the fantastic casting:

James Caan
Matt Dillon (who like Johnny Depp is pretty good when he's not in teeny bopper bullshit)
Gerard Depardoo
That pointy lady from Solaris
That bigot senator from X-men who gets turned into water, and despite his lack of landing good roles is one of the better working actors around.
Lots of interesting Cambodian one-off actors.
Like an evil midget pimp.

Can you tell I'm better with faces than I am names?

Anyway, they've got it on IFC and it's worth watching if nothing else is on.
