I'd been meaning to see this for a long time, even before the advent of Netflix streaming, and it sat in my queue for what had to be multiple years. I finally watched it, driven primarily by my recent need to see something that wasn't as brick stupid as the Transformers movies I tried to watch. Now I'm mad at myself for waiting so long.

"Miller's Crossing" is yet another well written, shot and directed Coen Brothers film. I've never seen anything that they've produced that I haven't loved or at least not really liked. Everything is so well done. Gabiel Byrne, Albert Finney and John Turturro are all so good. The dialogue is spot-on and the cinematography is beautiful. Watching this reminded me of the old gangster movies of the past, which I'm sure was part of the Coen's point. There was so much double-crossing, so many mob hits, and pointless gangster violence...it was great.

The only shortcoming I had with the film is the ending which was a little too open-ended. I normally like endings where we don't have all the answers but I liked these characters too much to have to fill in so many of the blanks.
