RAILROAD CROSSING

Today's film was the Coen brother's

Miller's Crossing (1990)

It is the only one of their's that I have not seen.

This is their 30's gangster movie and it is rich in reference and homage to the cliché's of the genré. The whole thing is a lot of fun to say nothing of suspenseful and a bit scary.

More people get railroaded and double crossed than you can imagine. Some even get triple and quadruple crossed.

I think that I followed it all.

Gabriel Byrne is great as the laconic right hand man of the boss, Albert Finney.

All the rest of the cast plays really well into the complex web of betrayals that thread the tapestry of this generous film.

I liked it a lot and will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.
