Miller's Crossing

Trusted adviser to 1920s Irish crime boss Lee O'Bannon, Tom Reagan's loyalty is tested when he takes up with O'Bannon's gal pal, Verna Bernbaum. Meanwhile, rivals Johnny Caspar and Eddie Dane threaten O'Bannon's racket. Gabriel Byrne, John Turturro, Albert Finney, Steve Buscemi, Jon Polito, J.E. Freeman and Marcia Gay Harden star in this marvelously crafted, unnerving crime-era epic helmed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.

Crossing is the kind of movie that benefits from a second sitting, to get a complete grip on the plot. full review

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Substance is here in spades, along with the twisted, brilliantly controlled style on which filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen made a name. full review

Variety Staff, Variety

It never fully convinces in terms of either period or plot. full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

The Coens' take on Depression-era gangster flicks, looks gorgeous and showcases John Turturro's best acting ever.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Without much point at all. full review

Vincent Canby, New York Times

As disturbing and densely beautiful as its opening image. full review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post

While Miller's Crossing is not as messy or inspired as Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas, or as richly suggestive as The Godfather, it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do.

There is a lot here to admire. full review
