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)

This is a tremendous neo-noir movie. Dark, gritty, and unflinchingly sadistic in all the right places. Top notch acting, directing, and, of course, since it's a Coen brothers movie, writing. Byrne does an absolutely stunning job, and all the major players are completely on top of their game--I simply can't find any fault in this movie, it is truly a masterpiece.

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.

Some people might say Steve Buscemi doesn't have the eyes to play a corpse. Oh, how they'd be wrong. Oh, how they'd be wrong.

This film is sheer Coen brother brillance. The humour is subtley placed throughout the film and it's hilarious. Byrne is especially amazing and so is Albert Finney. The dialog is smart, the story itself is complex but not unnecessarily confusing by any means. It's simply an excellent gangster flick that really captures the hidden humour in the life of it's characters.

An excellent film about the question of ethics. Also about hats (perhaps influenced by Chesterton's essay, "On Running After One's Hat"). And also, as I did not realise until 2018, a telling of the tale of Lancelot, Arthur and Guinevere, and specifically a remake of Bresson's LANCELOT DU LAC, whose visage-concealing helmets are here replaced by the aforementioned hats. Even the woods at Miller's Crossing resemble those where Lancelot brought the life of Mordred to an end (like a dumb animal).
