Netflix Pick for 1/14/13 – ‘Miller’s Crossing’

A moody character in a moody picture…

You can not go wrong with the Coen Brothers and you definitely can not go wrong with “Miller’s Crossing,” the bad ass prohibition era Coen Brothers mobster movie. A mob flunky (Gabriel Byrne) works to keep the peace between his mob boss (Albert Finney) and the rival mob boss (Jon Polito) and maybe at the same time he can work out a way to pay off his mounting gambling debts while working these two opposing factions against each other.

Everything about this movie is great, from the production design to the acting to the writing to the over the top violence (a Coens’ staple) to the weird characters (another Coens’ staple) to the music and everything in between. “Miller’s Crossing” is a fantastic film and one that I can easily recommend. So check it out!
