Review of The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) by Eric T — 27 Oct 2007
My least favorite of the Cassavetes movies I've seen. If you've seen any of his movies, this one follows the awesome formula: hand-held cameras, extreme close-ups of faces, tremendous acting. However, the pace is abnormally slow, dragging this film down.
Nice twist on a modern day noir though.
