Miller's Crossing
Joel and Ethan Coen's third collaboration, the gangster film Miller's Crossing, stars Gabriel Byrne as Tom Reagan, the right-hand man of big-city Irish mob boss Leo (Albert Finney). The film opens with Italian mobster Johnny Caspar (Jon Polito) and his second in command Eddie Dane (J.E. Freeman) informing Leo and Tom that they are going to kill bookie Bernie Bernbaum (John Turturro) because he has been revealing Caspar's fixed fights to other gamblers. Leo informs Caspar that Bernie pays for protection and is not to be touched. After the Italians leave in a huff, Tom informs Leo that he should give up Bernie. Tom and Leo are both involved with Verna (Marcia Gay Harden), Bernie's sister. After a failed hit on Leo starts a full-scale mob war, Tom reveals to Leo the truth about his relationship with Verna. This leads to a falling-out between the pair. Tom goes to work for Caspar, but in truth, he is still loyal to Leo. Tom figures out how to manipulate all of the situations so that Leo survives, but this may cost Tom his relationship with Verna.~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Like Blood Simple and Raising Arizona, this works both as a crime thriller and as an ironic commentary on that genre.... read more on Time Out

Good, but not great
The sharp dialogue, clever plot and excellent acting - particularly from Byrne, who is at his charismatic best - make this a film worth watching. It's not ... read more »

Steve Buscemi: King of the Bit Part
- 28 Jul 2009
Steve Buscemi seems intent on cornering the market in rodents. He’s already played a rat, a weasel, a mink, and whatever manner of creature Randall Boggs may have been in Monsters, Inc. Add to that menagerie “Bucky” in this week’s G Force, a shiftless hamster who hordes nuts from his cage-mates, implausibly denies he’s part ferret, and who does the dirty on one of the movie’s more sympathetic characters, not because he’s malicious, but because he’ Read more
