Today, the Coen Brothers do the twenties gang wars.

Miller's Crossing (1990)

What a long time ago! I was surprised to see the date.

Nut it is not dated. It is the timeless story of the wise guys who try to get over and the other wise guys who will rub them out.

This film has the usual Coen stock company of actors and some of them get a star turn especially if they are more mob looking than others.

The film is very very good. I have seen it a few times. It is still worth trying again sometime.

There are so many nice touches. The gangsters' fedoras make a nice counterpoint to the gruesome nature of the goings on. A warning. Lots of gore.
