There's a mystery at the heart of Miller's Crossing - and it's even bigger than the perplexing question of who and why somebody took Rug Daniels' toupee after they bumped him and left his corpse slumped in an alley....read the complete Miller's Crossing (1990) review at Reel.com

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 (1990) review at Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

...every time I see it, and I've seen it thrice already. It's layered, beautiful and haunting. There are great performances. I don't know very much about the period and place, but I still got the feeling that a lot of effort went into re- creating it. ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

"Miller's Crossing" is yet ANOTHER interpolation of Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo" (the other being "Last Man Standing", with Bruce Willis). The Coen brothers, however, did a fine job of "tweaking" the story to fit 1920's America. The sets, wardrobe, ...
