Old school style art house low budget film that they rarely make anymore!
18 July 2020
"The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" a mid to late 70's picture done in low budget style is still one that had a real feel and compelling story to it. Set in L.A. it involves Cosmo(Ben Gazzara) a shady strip club owner who loves to gamble on the side all of a sudden owes plenty of money to the mob. To help save his business and stable of beautiful ladies he's given a task of dealing with the Chinese in L.A.'s "Chinatown". Guess from the title what that involves. Overall nothing great still it entertains and it's style of low budget gangster action thrills with gunfire and eye candy is given in the form of some skin shots of nude dancers. Overall good late night underground art house flick to check out sometime.
