Description:
Leo is the benevolent Irish gangster and political boss who rules an Easter city with the help of Tom, his trusted lieutenant and counselor. But their control of the town is challenged by an over-reaching Italian underboss and his ruthless henchman. Just as this threat erupts, Leo and Tom have a falling out over the same woman. Tom, caught in the jaws of a gangland violent outcome.
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

- Overstylized, rambling and boring.I had seen Fargo, and was prepped to have a good time with Miller's Crossing. I knew it was meant to be a takeoff on film noir, so I didn't expect great art. Just some fun.
Nope. Even with the stellar acting power of Gabriel Byrne and Albert Finney, this souffle falls flat. There is no -- as in NO -- plot to follow. All you see are guys dressed up like 30's mobsters, trying to talk tough and clever. But their lines aren't actually tough, and they certainly aren't clever.

- Who ever thought a steady calm would chill your bones...Often hailed as the Coen brothers finest film; `Millers Crossing' is a brilliant gangster film that exceeds the film the Academy decided to embrace this given year (yes, I'm talking to you `GoodFellas'). `Millers Crossing' is quiet when it needs to be, shocking when necessary, and always effortlessly chilling.
The film tells the story of Irish gangster Tom Reagan, lieutenant to crime boss Liam O'Bannon. O'Bannon's power is challenged by rival crime boss Johnny Caspar, and soon things ... Read More

- Strong period pieceWith a bit of tightening-up, this powerful period piece could be even stronger. I'm merely suggesting some editing out of a few unnecessary bits and shortening of some rather lengthy scenes.
That said, this film features a complicated plot, a superb cast, quite a bit of gangster/Prohibition era violence, beatings and shoot-outs, great music, and beautiful photography by Barry Sonnenfeld, who went on to become a director not long afterwards. The Coens did not fare well with this at the box office, ... Read More

- Runnin things. It ain't all gravy.A highly stylized and satisfying version of the 1930's underworld. A chesslike plot melodramticaly propels characters. The scene where Leo defends an attack on his house with a Thompson sub machine gun is one of my favorite action scenes of all time.
Rating:
- 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 ... Read More
