'Not since 'The Godfather' has there been a portrait of gangsterism as powerful as this audacious electrifying masterpiece from the Coen Brothers' - Cosmopolitan

From the creators of 'Fargo', 'O Brother Where Art Thou' and 'Intolerable Cruelty' comes a complex and graphic vision of gangsterism in the United States. Set in the wide-open days of Prohibition 'Miller's Crossing' features a riveting rogues gallery of killers and con-men.

Leo (Albert Finney) is the benevolent Irish gangster and political boss who rules the Eastern city with the help of anti-hero Tom (Gabriel Byrne), his trusted lieutenant and counselor. But their control of the town is challenged by an over-reaching Italian under boss, Johnny Casper (Jon Polito) and his ruthless henchmen Eddie Dane (J.E. Freeman).

While Tom tries to keep the peace, he has a disagreement with Leo over a woman and finds himself in the jaws of a gangland power struggle.

Miller's Crossing is propelled by gripping action, stunning cinematography and brims with black humour and shocking violence. Its intense and twisting plot walks a deadly tightrope where nothing is quite what it seems.
