Miller's Crossing

Release Year: 1990

Director: Joel Coen

Review: Coen Brother films often take several viewings to fully appreciate, and I think this may be the case for 'Miller's Crossing'.  I spent the majority of the first half of the film finding myself completely lost and trying to figure out what exactly I was watching.  There are a lot of players involved in this crime drama, and it took some effort to keep them straight.  I did catch up and became engrossed by the end, but feel it deserves another viewing to fully capture the effect.  What I did take away was absolutely stunning film with some incredibly powerful, on the edge of your seat, scenes.  I enjoyed the film a great deal, but I think I could love it on repeat viewings.
Rating: 3.5/5
