The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
Ben Gazzara plays Cosmo Vitelli, a nightclub owner who gets deep into gambling debt, and is forced by the mob to kill a Chinese bookie. Seymour Cassel plays his usual nice guy, even though he's part of the mob, eventually trying to kill Cosmo. The story is great, and the film is filled with freakshow characters and bits of comedy.
