If you loved Gloria, try The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Cassavetes, and they both carry the neon soaked, raw mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gloria, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is
A neon haze over a strip club at 3 a.m. in high summer, cash and cigarette smoke swirling. Cosmo runs the joint by day, craps by night, loves his dancers and owes Mort everything. A Cassavetes dive into hollow machismo spiked with booze and bad checks.
