Review of Miller's Crossing (1990) by Daniel D — 07 Mar 2013

Miller's Crossing is the second best Coen Brothers film I've seen, following True Grit. It's comparable to The Godfather in style, but it's no cheap rip off, if anything it's better.

I found the plot much thicker, and the dialogue was rich. But really much like the reason I love True Grit is the technical surroundings. The production design, makeup, costume, it's all brilliantly laid out.

I especially saw this when Caspar's nephew came to visit. As I mentioned the screenplay is genuine, and there were plenty of twists. Great scenery and a more than unique plot, great film.
