Summary of Miller's Crossing

When the Italian Mafia threatens to kill a crooked bookie (John Turturro), Irish mob boss Leo O'Bannon (Albert Finney) refuses to allow it, chiefly because he's dating the bookie's sister, crafty gun moll Verna Bernbaum (Marcia Gay Harden). Leo's right-hand man, Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrne), is also seeing Verna on the sly, and when he's found out is obliged to switch sides, going to work for the Italian mob amidst a dramatically escalating gang war over liquor distribution.

Critics Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
If, however, you're looking for compelling characters, all the lights are blazing here but nobody's at home.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
A masterpiece, but of a unique kind... A gorgeously filmed, supremely well-acted, intricately written film noir about now.

Users Reviews

If you like mobster movies and you like film noir, then this is a perfect movie for you to watch. Not a dull moment in the movie.
A flawless noir film that makes good use of all the clichés of the genre, taking advantage of the new liberties and visual of our times. Very enjoyable.
