Story never develops any momentum or urgency
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie was an independent film made by John Cassavetes. It featured Ben Gazzara as Cosmo Vittelli. He was a man who thought he was on top of the world and had everything under control. He owned a strip club, he had beautiful women around him all the time, and was bringing in the bucks. In fact, he didn’t have anything and him facing that fact is what the story is about.<br /><br />Cosmo’s dilemma was that he owed thousands of dollars to mobsters. At the start he finally pays off his debt but then gambles that night and goes right back into debt. He ends up signing over his club as collateral. The gangsters then want him to kill a Chinese bookie named Harold Ling to clear all the money he owes, hence the title of the film. It’s a lesson to Cosmo that he’s not the important man he thinks he is. In fact, his life and future is in the hands of others.<br /><br />The problem with the movie is that the story is not believable. Why would some gangsters ask a strip club owner to do a hit for them? I doesn’t make any sense. The Chinese guy even has some bodyguards around him. What chance would a businessman have to take him out?<br /><br />Most importantly however is that there is no tension or payoff in the script.<br />C
