An early gem from the Coen brothers. The cast is brilliant, singular. Period costuming hits the mark, also. The camerawork is elegant and understated. Gabriel Byrne's lead character is a curious individual to construct a film around - a gangster hero with no heart. At the least, Miller's Crossing is "a handsome movie about men and hats" (Ethan Coen).
