Miller's Crossing finds the Coens at their cool best, executing a loving and highly stylised pastiche of classic `30s gangster movies while shamelessly lifting plot from "Red Harvest".
This movie proved that the Coens could take any genre and make it their own.
Oh Danny Boy... Albert Finney in a classic scene of orchestrated slapstick with "Danny Boy" playing in the background. The gunplay is for Leo like great sex. At the end of the rumpus Leo produces his extinguished cigar from his nightrobe and plants it in his mouth with pure satisfaction.
One of the best movies of 1990? Probably.
Entertaining stuff. Hardly a classic.
"Vagina,Mr Lewbowski."
 Best Coen Brothers film to date..? February 13, 2008

Well i certainly think so and ive seen most of them. It looks so lush, the cinematography is exceptional, the acting is brilliant and the pace of the film moves along quite wonderfully. Am i going over-the-top? No, i dont think so. The violence in the film is very stylish, quick and at times shocking. But with most Coen Brothers film the humour is black as night and you cannot help being amused by most of what goes on. All in all, brilliant, one of the best films ive ever seen.

In my view this is the Coen brother's most oustanding film amongst a catalogue of excellent films. The whole thing drips with style, and Gabriel Byrne is excellent in the lead role.
The finest movie from the Coen brothers and one of the best gangster films out there. January 27, 2008

Perhaps the most under-rated film of all time is this weird and wonderful Gangster movie. For me, this almost rivals 'The Godfather' for the honour of being my favourite movie on the shady underword of america's organised crime.
As usual the Coen brothers do things differently and they have with this Gangster flick. Its weird, dark, funny, the cinematography is exceptional and soundtrack is haunting and atmospheric and the characters believable and complex. The hero (Gabriel Byrne) is manipulative, devious, uncaring and not very sympathetic .... but that all adds to his charm. Albert Finney is wonderful to watch as the Irish-American Godfather.
To me, this is the Coen brothers finest peice of work, yet also their most under-rated and least talked about ..... shame.

I have always felt that the difference between US wit and UK wit is that in the Uk we laugh at our own foolishness whereas in the US they poke fun at other people. This is not really a comedy but it is certainly witty to the point of genius. Joel and Ethan Cohen are intellectuals of Holllywood, filmmakers as artists or maybe the other way round. It is theatrical art on film and should not be missed.
