City of Fear (2001)

Synopsis: A journalist is invited to do a story in Sofia on a scientist who is his childhood friend, but arriving there he hears of his friend's death. He decides to investigate what is behind it.
Appraisal: Poorly scripted and acted, this is hardly worth one's time, despite all the references to Citizen Kane and The Third Man, and a few valuable remarks about the situation in post-communism Bulgaria. Most ludicrous moment: a medical research center featuring an employee-of-the-month photo on the wall.
Rating: 12
