Miller's Crossing (1990)
From the Creators of Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable comes a complex and graphic vision of gangsterism in the United States. Set in the wide-open days of Prohibition and featuring a riveting rogues gallery of killers and con men. Leo (Albert Finney) is the benevolent Irish gangster and political boss who rules an Eastern city with the help of Anti-hero Tom (Gabriel Byrne), he is the trusted lieutenant and counsellor. But their control of the town is challenged by an overreaching Italian under boss Johnny Casper (Jon Polito) and his ruthless henchmen Eddie Dane (J.E. Freeman). While Tom tries to keep the peace, he has a falling out with Leo over a woman and he finds himself caught in the jaws of a gangland power struggle. MILLER'S CROSSING is propelled by gripping action, stunning cinematography and brims with black humour and shocking violence. Its intense and twisting plot walks a deadly tightrope where nothing is quite as it seems.
