Reviews
"This is my favorite John Cassavetes movie, perhaps because it's the most appealingly sleazy."—Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloidhttp://www.combustiblecelluloid.com/classic/killchin.shtml"As much an indictment of modern filmmaking as the delusional nature of macho posturing, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is a complex and fascinating document."—Dan Jardine, Apollo Guidehttp://www.apolloguide.com/mov_fullrev.asp?CID=2305
