One of the All-Time Great Gangster Films

If you haven't seen this film, you've missed one of the best gangster flicks of all time ! The story-line has more twists and turns than a roller-coaster and some of the best scenes and dialouge you'll find. Outstanding performances by Gabriel Byrne (Tom), Albert Finney (Leo), Marcia Gay Harden & John Tuturro. If you can figure out where this one's going to end more than 15 minutes before the actual ending, I'll eat my hat !!! This is one of those movies you'll be talking about with your friends for days afterward (and repeating lines from the movie too). One of my favorite movies of the last 20 years (1990).

Miller's Crossing - a Coen Classic

Enchanting, haunting, unnerving and just good ole Coen Brothers' dialogue. Beautiful photography by Barry Sonnenfeld and great acting all around. This movie not surprisingly becomes more enjoyable with every viewing and is definitely worth owning!

ALL WEEPY

I thought I might go all weepy at the beauty of this film. Albert Finney,
as Leo is a glorious stand-out--somehow I knew he would have on spats-- and his "come out blazing" scene is glorious. John Turturro is right on as a sniveling weasel, but Gabriel Byrne as Tom is a dream. All the way through the movie, I was wondering, is Tom planning all this, or is he ad libing as the needs of self preservation present themselves. I did not really know until the last scene. What a beautifully done movie. If you did not "catch it" then, you should "catch it" now. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent!

Another Coen Brothers movie that surpasses all expectations. Gabriel Byrne, John Turturro, Albert Finney, Steve Buscemi, and Marcia Gay Harden perform exceptionally. It is a disturbing and suspenseful drama that flows along effortlessly and catches the viewer up in a way that he is gripping the seat he is sitting on. This movie brings you into the Coen Brothers' minds and shows you how much immeasurable creativity they have.

A definite choice for Coen Brothers' fans as well as for fans of suspense.

Kind of a bloody gangster film

In the 20's the Irish still ran things in some east coast cities.
It wasn't any cleaner or easier. Fights, gambling whores and booze were
big. Always one boss wants it all. There is always the girl that
you shouldn't mess with, but did. The hero here is a plainly an
anti-hero.
Most everybody ends up dead. The difference today is that
fully automatic weapons aren't as easy to get and drugs and martial arts
have changed how people got shot or beat up or are killed.
The minority groups have shifted, the language has changed, the music
is different, but the situations and the deaths remain.
