Negative Positive
Title: Overrated, Extremely Predictable, Worst Coen Bros. Movie
Review: Reading the reviews for this movie, I came in with high hopes - which always makes it tougher in regards to being critical of a movie. However, Miller's Crossing did not even come close to meeting my expectations. I am a fan of Coen Bros. movies in general, especially O' Brother Where Art Thou, but this one left me very disappointed. The plot was extremely predictable and the dialogue was about as cliche as you can get. Very poor character development (the main character started out with an accent, but didn't stick with it?), and very little to keep me interested. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, but it never did. To compare this movie with great movies like Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, or Godfather is absolutely ridiculous. If you want to watch an enjoyable, well written mobster movie try Goodfellas, Scarface or the Untouchables, but completely avoid Miller's Crossing.
