Review of The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) by Ashley C — 24 Sep 2008
The premise of the film seems exciting and makes you think it's a pure gangster film. But Cassavetes turns it around and makes an original character study. Deliberately paced which can turn off some viewers, is near perfect.
This is a type of film where I need to see it again to really appreciate it even more.
