Miller's Crossing

Miller's Crossing is a 1990 American neo-noir black comedy gangster film written and directed by the Coen brothers, and starring Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden, John Turturro, Jon Polito, J. E. Freeman, and Albert Finney. The plot concerns a power struggle between two rival gangs and how the protagonist, Tom Regan (Byrne), plays both sides off against each other.

In 2005, TIME chose Miller's Crossing as one of the 100 greatest films made since the inception of the periodical. TIME critic Richard Corliss called it a "noir with a touch so light, the film seems to float on the breeze like the frisbee of a fedora sailing through the forest."

Plot

Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrne) is the advisor and right hand man for Leo O'Bannon (Albert Finney), an Irish mobster and political boss who runs an unspecified city during Prohibition. When Leo's partner, the Italian racketeer Johnny Caspar (Jon Polito) announces his intent to kill bookie Bernie Bernbaum (John Turturro), Leo goes against Tom's advice and extends his protection to Bernie. Bernie is the brother of Verna Bernbaum (Marcia Gay Harden), who has begun a relationship with Leo while carrying on an affair with Tom.
