Review of The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) by John C — 26 Mar 2011
The original 1976 version is a low key masterpiece, a wonderful character drama about a "loser" with a dream. The 1978 director's cut sacrifices a lot of the character and mood of the piece which does help expedite the pacing of the plot, but loses what is truly special about the movie.
See the original 1976 version!
