Miller's Crossing - 6

This is the Coen brother's third film, which is very well done (I have now seen all of the movies that the Coen brothers have written, and made). This film takes place in the 30's and is mobster movie. The cinematography is really well done. The story follows Tom who is crosses and double crosses his bosses and other mobsters in order to save his own skin. His gift, or curse, is that he can lie well, and that his heart has been numbed to the world. He learns throughout the film that the more he cares the more he has to loose, this brings him to the crisis point at the end of the film. He is successful in the mob only because he has learned how to hide his own humanity. The Coen brothers are some of the best writers in Hollywood in my opinion. Here is a list and ranking of all of their films:
The Ladykillers (2004) - 6
Intolerable Cruelty (2003) - 4
The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) - 6
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) - 7
The Big Lebowski (1998) - 6
Fargo (1996) - 6
The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)- 6
Barton Fink (1991) - 3
Miller's Crossing (1990)
Raising Arizona (1987) - 7
