With Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden, Albert Finney, John Turturro, Jon Polito, Steve Buscemi. Byrne plays a 1930s Irish mobster at the center of a dense knot of twists and turns, double-crosses, and sleights of hand in this elegant take on the gangster film genre, complete with rat-a-tat-tat dialogue and mannered shoot-outs. Miller's Crossing is the Coens' last collaboration with Sonnenfeld, who characterized the crew as "a team of filmmakers." 115 min.
