Product Description

Leo is the benevolent Irish gangster and political boss who rules an Easter city with the help of Tom, his trusted lieutenant and counselor. But their control of the town is challenged by an over-reaching Italian underboss and his ruthless henchman. Just as this threat erupts, Leo and Tom have a falling out over the same woman. Tom, caught in the jaws of a gangland violent outcome.

Amazon.com

Arguably the best film by Joel and Ethan Coen, the 1990 Miller's Crossing stars Gabriel Byrne as Tom, a loyal lieutenant of a crime boss named Leo (Albert Finney) who is in a Prohibition-era turf war with his major rival, Johnny Caspar (Jon Polito). A man of principle, Tom nevertheless is romantically involved with Leo's lover (Marcia Gay Harden), whose screwy brother (John Turturro) escapes a hit ordered by Caspar only to become Tom's problem. Making matters worse, Tom has outstanding gambling debts he can't pay, which keeps him in regular touch with a punishing enforcer. With all the energy the Coens put into their films, and all their focused appreciation of genre conventions and rules, and all their efforts to turn their movies into ironic appreciations of archetypes in American fiction, they never got their formula so right as with Miller's Crossing. With its Hammett-like dialogue and Byzantine plot and moral chaos mitigated by one hero's personal code, the film so transcends its self-scrutiny as a retro-crime thriller that it is a deserved classic in its own right. --Tom Keogh

Cohen Brothers Mob Movie

By Amazon Customer on November 1, 2016

Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase

If you don't know about Cohen movies, then you need to start. This is a solid member of the Cohen brothers arsenal of fascinating, layered, thoughtful but suspenseful movies. Cohen brothers can get a little weird, though (Barton Fink), so if you don't have the stomach for the weirdness of Cohen Brother's, don't worry, this stays within the mob movie genre to make anyone who enjoys a good mob movie happy, while pushing the edges of the genre - as Cohen brother do - to make it interesting and tantalizing for people who are a bit bored with Godfather and Goodfella re-runs. This is more an early era mob movie, which makes it a little different than the typical genre, and doesn't attempt to mirror real mob history at all, so it's much more playful in that sense. But the characters are entertaining and easy to connect to.

Own this!

By M. Ercolino on July 23, 2016

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

Classic. I love the Cohen brothers and this movie is a masterpiece. The dialog, the scenery, the costumes, and the character plots!! Great stuff. If you like any of the other Cohen brothers movies, this is a movie that will be the capstone on your collection. Typically the Cohens get the weird, the banal, the dysfunction, the cinematography and the complex all in one place and this movie is the essential example of that incredible impossible confluence. This movie is brilliant no matter what metric matters most to anyone.

Entertaining, just way too contrived for my tastes...

By Miguel Vargas on July 23, 2016

Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase

The writing just seem so contrived with the scenes and the plot becoming more and more unbelievable. Don't get me wrong the film was entertaining but Tom has to be one of the luckiest SOBs alive to have everything happen the way it did and still come out of it 'clean'. In the closing scene, it's like Tom is saying " Leo you dumb potato head. I planned ALL of this so you could see the type of guy I really am - all knowing, all seeing and pretty damn lucky (just not at gambling)." I know I am really picky but a story should have some spontaneity to it. This one seemed too artificial and unrealistic, hence 3 stars. Tom wasn't Leo's right-hand man for no reason. How he wasn't killed early on in the story is completely beyond me - I just couldn't get over seeing him dodge the bullet time and time again and then in the end say "Hey I meant for that to happen."

I watch this movie every St. Patty`s day,It`s pure magic, It restored my faith that great movies can still be made! magnificent, the hit scene with Albert Finney is timeless. Gabriel Byrne, John Tuturro, Marcia Gay Harding, and Jon Poito were stellar in their along with the rest of the cast! Kudos to Mr. Joel & Ethan Coen, a milestone in cinema, indeed my friends! Twist a pigs ear and watch him squeal!

Still one of my favorite movies ever

By Thad Brown on May 30, 2016

Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase

Still one of my favorite movies ever. Very atypical for a Cohen Brothers film, narratively, sonically, an photographically, but somehow they got it all so right. The performances are outstanding, Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney, John Torturro, Steve Buscemi, and everyone else, I mean literally everyone else, does a great job. But Marcia Gay Harden absolutely mops the floor with all of them. I only wish she had gotten more roles like this one to work with, she was clearly up to the challenge.

I often joke, 'Everything I ever needed to know I learned from Miller's Crossing or Clausewitz.' Great movie, just watch it every few months to notice more stuff.

Stick with the DVD version...

By Guest on July 18, 2014

Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase

Huge fan of the film who wanted to upgrade from my DVD to Blu-ray. I should have left well-enough alone as my DVD looked great. The quality of this disc is heinous. This almost looks like I downgraded from my DVD to an old VHS that has been put through about a thousand views. The actors also have a clownish pinkish hue to their cheeks, lips, and ears. And no, this is not an issue with the Blu-ray player or PS3. Also, the opening scene in the original opened with a camera looking down into a highball glass as the Tom character fills it with ice. This view opens at an oblique angle. Odd.

Classic Coens

By Pen Slinger on September 14, 2014

Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase

There appears to be a soft focus that pervades throughout most of this picture on the release of this Blu-Ray. But is does not diminish the impact of one of the very best Coen brother's movies that can also be ranked right up there with "The Godfather" and "Goodfellas" as one of the greatest gangster films to ever grace the screen. The images conjured are magnificent from tommy guns out of control to a single hat gliding ever so gracefully in a quiet forest. The Coens spin a tale of gang rivalry during the Prohibition era in an unidentified city that could be Chicago or New York (although shot in New Orleans). Of course, with the Coens at the helm the story is not a straight telling of any kind. They present this unwavering tale of violence, corruption and honor in the form of a very perplexing riddle. The likes of which will have the uninitiated talking about it long after it is over.

A masterpiece and a triumph! Should be listed along with "The Godfather."

By samspennell on September 10, 2014

Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase

This movie is quite simply amazing. It should be listed up there with "The Godfather," and all of the greatest gangster films of all time, although I am not the biggest fan of the gangster genre, so I may not be the best critic, or someone that gangster fans would really align with. I thought this movie established a grave and intelligent tone better than "The Godfather," and avoided some of the stagey, macho posturing of "The Godfather." I actually felt like this was less cheesy and better than "The Godfather."

Gabriel Byrne brings an awesome gravity and seriousness to the role, and this movie does the opposite of insulting your intelligence. The plot is a little overly complex, but the emotionality, tone, and acting are a knockout-along with the screenplay. Shame that this movie is not iconic and listed along with the classics, a true triumph for the Cohen Brothers early in their career.
