Substance is here in spades, along with the twisted, brilliantly controlled style on which filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen made a name.

Reviews for Miller's Crossing
The Coens' take on Depression-era gangster flicks, looks gorgeous and showcases John Turturro's best acting ever.
Crossing is the kind of movie that benefits from a second sitting, to get a complete grip on the plot.
While Miller's Crossing is not as messy or inspired as Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas, or as richly suggestive as The Godfather, it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do.
