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)

Political machinations this complex could use a bit more personality to spice things up, particularly in the longer dialogue scenes.

Miller's Crossing was slow at times but overall the movie told a really interesting and engaging story. Jon Polito, in one of his largest roles, portrays a gangster that is concerned with morality within his world of gangsters. He believes himself to be a man who knows the character of others very well but Albert Finney, who is fantastic, ignores Polito and pays the price for it by losing his status as boss. Byrne's character, who plays both sides of the coin, is the most complex character here.

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.

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