Miller's Crossing (1990)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 1/18

1/18: Miller's Crossing is a silly film for little kids and man-children.

Along with the glacial pace, I've become overwhelmed by the high amount of violence, stupidity, boredom, and pointlessness while searching for a plot that's been devoid of direction. Gabriel Byrne's Tom Regan is beaten up so many times throughout that he still looks great after all! Riiiiiight....*sigh*

A Tommy gun, the most overused gun in Hollywood history, shoots 1,500 rounds a minute and holds 100 rounds per magazine which takes four seconds to empty. When the old man was firing it away for six straight minutes without reloading, that became the end of the movie for me.

All in all, films directed by the Coen brothers have been either hits or misses, and Miller's Crossing is of the latter and is just trash.
