Amazon.com essential video:
Arguably the best film by Joel and Ethan Coen, the 1990 Miller's Crossing stars Gabriel Byrne as Tom, a loyal lieutenant of a crime boss named Leo (Albert Finney) who is in a Prohibition-era turf war with his major rival, Johnny Caspar (Jon Polito). A man of principle, Tom nevertheless is romantically involved with Leo's lover (Marcia Gay Harden), whose screwy brother (John Turturro) escapes a hit ordered by Caspar only to become Tom's problem. Making matters worse, Tom has outstanding gambling debts he can't pay, which keeps him in regular touch with a punishing enforcer. With all the energy the Coens put into their films, and all their focused appreciation of genre conventions and rules, and all their efforts to turn their movies into ironic appreciations of archetypes in American fiction, they never got their formula so right as with Miller's Crossing. With its Hammett-like dialogue and Byzantine plot and moral chaos mitigated by one hero's personal code, the film so transcends its self-scrutiny as a retro-crime thriller that it is a deserved classic in its own right. --Tom Keogh

A strange little film. Once again the Coen Brothers want to make an anti-genre film. This time they attack the genre of the gangster mafia in an eastern city that does not need a name but has to be big during prohibition. That mafia is working in clubs with bars and gambling tables, and in racketeering for protection. Two rival gangs and one chap taken in between Irish and Italian bosses or would-like-to-be-sole bosses. He has an affair with the girl friend of the Irish man and he shifts to the other ... Read More

Millers Crossing remains my favorite mob movie. You might need to watch it a couple times to pickup some of the names, dialog and plot connections. That's what makes it a great movie. It has some detail to it. It isn't a cheesy Hollywood cookie cutter plot. The Cohen Bros. at their best.
The dialog is classic. Get it!

A handsome movie about men in hats, was how the Coens described this movie. That's exactly it. One of their best. A slick, ersatz 1920s era gangster movie, the Coens know how to respect the conventions of the genre and when to subvert them. The plot is complex and slippery, but never unravels as it pings between the main characters - Tom, the Irish gangster caught in a war between two prohibition era mafia bosses - Leo and Johnny, also messed about by a corrupt bookie.
The acting is slick ... Read More

Everything's good about this film, man. The storyline leaves you hanging throughout, while still entertaining you immensely, and it reveals itself to be insanely clever right until the climactic ending.
The characters are very, very precise and likable, all of them entertaining to watch--people you'd want to be in a room with (or maybe not) for hours.
This film does require some listening and thinking while you're watching it. This isn't for people who want to be absolutely braindead ... Read More

I found this film relies on its music and cinematography more than its story. It didn't move me as it did others. I find it boring and meandering. There are great actors and great scenery. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
