Miller's Crossing (1990)
A highly styled 'genre' film which can perhaps be seen as a pastiche of all gangster movies. Tom Reagan is the laconic anti-hero of this amoral tale which is also, paradoxically, a look at morals within the criminal underworld of the 1930s. Two rival gangs vie for control of a city where the police are pawns, and the periodic busts of illicit drinking establishments are no more than a way for one gang to get back at the other. Black humour and shocking violence compete for screen time as we question whether or not Tom, right-hand man of the Irish mob leader, really has a heart. (imdb)

Even though his fate is the primary driver of the plot, Turturro's screen time is relatively minor. But he makes the most of it, and this may be my favorite performance of his. The dark comedy here is superb and there are tons of layers to the plot and thematic elements. I didn't really connect with Tom, however, which was a big sticking point.

Lots of names to remember to follow the immaculately crafted narrative and dialogue - and a film mostly about the breathing space between opportunism/planning and how loyalty and betrayal seem like two sides of the same coin; survival. Very engrossing and entertaining.

What's the rumpus? I love the Coen brothers' sense of humor and how differently they deploy it in everyone of their films. Caricatural characters, heck yeah, Byrne and Turturo and Buscemi doing an awesome job, as usual. And what about that cameo from Frances McDormand? Oh God, i bet they just threw that in there, just for fun.

Certainly a cut below the usual Coen gold for me. Felt a little bit forced at times, bogged down by dense uneventful dialogue and a plethora of characters that are less memorable than they are essential for the plot progression. There is still quite a bit of magic here, namely from Turturro and Freeman - who are given some of the darkly comedic touch of genius that the Coen's have trademarked. Worth a watch.

From the stylization to the extent when a right-hander carries a tommygun with the left hand just for the sake of symmetry in frame, through the writing which, while being good with its mystery, tolerates stereotypical characters, to the cinematography stuck within the shot-reverse-shot scheme, there is a lot of space for nitpicking. Still, it is one of the better movies, which has made me want to rewatch Coens' works I have not seen since childhood.

R - A really good gangster film, but somehow missing some of the Coens usual magic. Some standout scenes, especially the Danny Boy escape.

The custom-design is incredible and the screenplay is good, but there is a certain cold detachment about this film which made it sometimes uninvolving and a bit dull.

Interesting characters and superb dialogue as always from the Coen brothers. I wish we got more Steve Buscemi but John Torturro made up for that. Fans of gangster movies will certainly enjoy this. 'Danny Boy' certainly lived up to the hype
