Movie Review: Miller's Crossing

Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrnes) finds himself in an awkward position as an advisor to the big crime boss of the town known as Leo. Leo is at war with Casper, who is vying for control of the town and is upset over a bookie who cheated him. The bookie (John Turturro) happens to be somewhat of one of Tom's friends. There is a very complicated conflict that starts arising as many different parties begin getting involved in this somewhat trivial situation. Friends are turned on, lies are said, people are tricked, and amist it all, John Turturro plays a great portrayal of a nervous little nobody caught in the center of the action.
3 1/2 stars
