Was nevertheless totally immersed. The scene right after he busts out and needs to face the guys about his tab is one of the most chilling portrayals of mobsters ever. I didn't know any better at the time, but I lived amongst guys like that growing up. It was absolutely frightening how realistic the dialogue and acting was.
Baba-Booey to you all!

Ben Gazzara + Cassavetes at their best - grinagog 23:24:50 03/06/12 (0)
although not directed by Cassavetes; he + Peter Falk star in "Mikey + Nicky" which has similar noir undertones and is every bit as good as "Chinese Bookie"
