Bookie Review (2007)

Source: www.thespinningimage...

It is not wise to cross Jackson (Lester Purry), the boss of the nightclub where gambling is not only allowed, but encouraged. Tonight one unlucky punter is feeling his wrath, and the resident Bookie (Ken Quitugua) steps in to try and stop a beating he feels is going too far. ...

Economical and evocative, a very fine work of promise with a sweet romantic side

Clever writing paired with tight performances...I'd love to see what director Tran Quoc Bao can do with a feature-length movie

I loved it

by Kiki at 3:29pm on January 31st, 2008

I liked the feeling, tone, lighting of the Bookie. I liked the characters, the way the scenes are shot. The music, mood, the violence. How did you do that? Looks like you really smashing the guys' hand. Nice fight sequence. The leading lady was beautiful. The costumes were great, makeup artist did a great job. The sounds were a bit muffled. Besides I have to turn the volume way up to hear what characters were saying, I and my boyfriend enjoyed it. Like the name of your company, the way it's shown on the screen. Very professional feel to the whole film. Well done.
