If Miller's Crossing isn't my favourite movie, I don't know what is.

...whether we're supposed to take it as a dark comedy or a straightforward melodrama is up to the viewer. A little of both, maybe. The Coens have always been a little twisted.

A gleeful riff on a very old genre; the Coens make it sing anew with wit, intensity, and irresistible black humor.

The film is a crossroads, more gratifying for the future directions it provided for its creators than for the pleasures it affords its audience.

Not a false move, a bad angle, an awkward line or a wanting performance at any point.

The Coen Brothers certainly know noir. This mob tale shimmers with sparkling dialogue.

A screenplay of pure gold. I still think it's the best Coens film yet.

It is consistently good, but I suppose I have come to expect more from the Coens.
