ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

strike-1995 Imagine if the coen brothers were from the silent epoch; I'm glad we don't have to.

ebaldig Boring, boring, boring The actors repeating their texts without ion. Where is the story? Unreal! Don't want to see it again.

gofastergetrounder I would echo the review of Pclark in nearly all aspects. I want to add something that I am going to flag as a "spoiler" even though it isn't about the plot or the movie, per se: It is about technique. Miller's Crossing does an absolutely brilliant job of taking things to an exaggerated level (dialog, plot, characters, everything), but never crossing the line where you would not take it seriously while watching it. The Coen Brothers just weave magic around the hyperbole line: They run right up against it, but never quite cross it. Miller's Crossing is truly a singular film: You will find nothing else like it anywhere.

Family-Bert It took me three views to figure out the entire plot. It is a terrific story about the incorruptible at the bottom of the heart that can't be told but can't be beat. Dashiell Hammet, wherever he is, must be applauding. The first time I was caught by the style. The second time by the acting. The third time by the craftsmanship of the plot. The nice thing about the 30's is that corruption was so simple then. To the people who lived in it, personal loyalty was the only thing to hold onto, or not. This incredibly elaborate movie is simply about one man with that one motive. The plot, of course, is something else. A violent war between gangs gets won by wits after so many twists and turns that you wonder how someone can be so smart... oh, and there is lots of black humor. If you like film noir, and if you think nothing new could be done with it, watch this movie.
