Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

betty dalton Everyone gets betrayed in this gangster story. How it is done is the genius of the writing of the Coen Brothers, who direct, write and produce all their pictures. The only reason you must be reading these reviews is because you havent heard yet of these genius twin brother's. They have been producing excellent work since the nineties. Once you have seen some of their classics you probably will wanna see ALL their other work too, without needing to read any reviews, because they are THAT good. The Coen Brothers are simply one of the best independent american movie makers of this century. "Miller's Crossing" however is NOT their best work, but is their best effort at making a vintage gangster movie. If you are not sure if you will wanna see "Miller' s Crossing", watch "No Country for Old Men" or "Blood Simple" instead. Those are both real grim hardcore Coen Brothers classics . Watch "Fargo" or "The Big Lebowski" if you wanna see a more humorous classic by these twin geniuses.Gabriel Byrne plays a cunning gentleman gangster who sleezes his way through the world of crime by double crossing anyone that crosses his path. The story is rather complicated and intelligent, but everything revolves around Gabriel Byrne's attempts at outsmarting the crime bosses he works for. Will he survive his cunning scams or will he have to face the bullet for his betrayal? That's the suspense.Acting quality is terrific. In ANY movie of the Coen Brothers acting is always paramount. The Coen Brothers respect and admire their actors and they bring out the best in them. Soundtrack by Carter Burwell, who scores the music for EVERY Coen Brothers film. His score is magnificent and gives the suspense extra juice with it's melancholic tones.I love all Coen Brothers work but "Miller's Crossing" often gives the impression that it could have been better. Though it is no masterpiece, it is still higly enjoyable.

strike-1995 Imagine if the coen brothers were from the silent epoch; I'm glad we don't have to.

shakercoola Its artificial setting, tongue-in-cheek villains make this a a triumph of gangster film caricature and self-conscious with it. Love is blind, and the seeming transfer of racketeering power in its bosses and underlings shifts as a result within a labyrinthine plot. The set design is beautiful, the lighting is brilliant, and the music pervades so memorably and powerfully. The downside is that the plot is a bit mechanical and characters are not engaging on an emotional level, though it has to be said this is a film to be marvelled for its artifice.

Family-Bert It took me three views to figure out the entire plot. It is a terrific story about the incorruptible at the bottom of the heart that can't be told but can't be beat. Dashiell Hammet, wherever he is, must be applauding. The first time I was caught by the style. The second time by the acting. The third time by the craftsmanship of the plot. The nice thing about the 30's is that corruption was so simple then. To the people who lived in it, personal loyalty was the only thing to hold onto, or not. This incredibly elaborate movie is simply about one man with that one motive. The plot, of course, is something else. A violent war between gangs gets won by wits after so many twists and turns that you wonder how someone can be so smart... oh, and there is lots of black humor. If you like film noir, and if you think nothing new could be done with it, watch this movie.
