Review of Miller's Crossing (1990) by Davidh. — 06 Jul 2007
Smoothly and skillfully paced while demonstrating impressive cinematography and sequencing. The Coen brothers do style like nobody else. But I know this is going to sound like a platitude, but there is very little underneath all of it.
For a thriller, Miller's Crossing achieves very little suspense for the audience and although Albert Finney, Jon Polito and John Turturro are game, Gabriel Byrne's mock New York accent is as glaringly awkward as the screenplay implausibilities are glaringly obvious.
Why in God's name would Casper's henchman the Dane allow Tom to go out into the woods alone to shoot Bernie when the whole point of accompanying him to Miller's crossing was ascertain where Tom's loyalities laid? A disappointment.
