City of Ghosts

On the ground in Cambodia, Jimmy meets Sophie, an NGO worker. She suggests that they start a new life together in Laos. But he does not want to give up the search for Marvin just yet. But when Marvin's foot is sent to him as an unmistakable warning, things get out of control and Jimmy has to fear for his own life. "The exquisitely acted film all the ingredients that make up a film noir: Betrayal, corruption, fragile friendships, flawed and shifting loyalties, and a hero who has yet to grow into the role and pay his (blood) dues."
