"Miller's Crossing" is named after the place in the forest where the gangsters in this movie go to shoot some of their more pestful problems, and is the location for the big twist in the movie, where the protagonist makes a fatal decision because of a ...read the complete Miller's Crossing movie review at Ted Prigge

It took me awhile to realize what was troubling me throughout this beautiful movie. I think the problem is, as we listen to this gorgeous, poetic banter between the characters, it dawns on us that no one speaks like this. As a result of this, we never ...read the complete Miller's Crossing movie review at John Beachem

Gangsters are the subject of this quirky Coen brothers film starring Gabriel Byrne, John Turturro, Jon Polito, and Albert Finney. As is custom with the Coens' surreal dramatic thrillers, there's a thin humorous undercurrent beneath the madness (an ...read the complete Miller's Crossing movie review at At-A-Glance Film Reviews

Loosley based on Hammett's novel and Chicago's Capone-O'Bannion gang war, the film is more impressive visually than thematically, though new angle of placing Irish, Italian, and Jewish gangsters in the same tale is intriguing. ...read the complete Miller's Crossing movie review at EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)

While Miller's Crossing is a standard gangster movie, it's filtering through the Coen brothers' synapses imbues it with their unique style.

The Coen brothers went all Clockwork Orangey in their most violent but least ironic picture, Miller's Crossing. It's a relatively run of the mill gangster thriller, though oddly the film has found an intensely loyal audience.

Despite its pedigree and its star-studded cast, the film is somehow underwhelming. It is consistently good, but I suppose I have come to expect more from the Coens. John Turturro is great as the weasel Bernie, and the rest of the cast does fine, ...read the complete Miller's Crossing movie review at Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)

When I first got a DVD player (in 1998, I believe), the first DVD I looked for was Miller's Crossing. Unfortunately, it looked like Best Buy was out of stock, so I was bummed.
