Since it premiered at Sundance last year, Matt Dillon's directorial debut has pretty much evaporated from memory, grossing just $350,000 of its $17 million budget from its US release. Co-written by Wild At Heart's Barry Gifford, it stars Dillon as Jimmy, an insurance salesman implicated in a scam when a hurricane hits an American resort.
After investigation by the FBI, Jimmy clears off to Cambodia in search of his shady business partner Marvin (played with Kurtz-like absurdity in an over-the-top turn by the usually reliable James Caan). Although Marvin is embroiled in a bizarre ex-pat community, including sweaty bartender Emile (Gérard Depardieu) and sinister business associate Kaspar (Stellan Skarsgård), a sloppy script and runaway editing make it hard to care who's doing what and to whom.
