I liked Miller's Crossing. The plot may have neen a little weak, but the movie was focus on Tom's character, which was facinating. I also really liked Benny, he was a good villain. Like others have said, it was the Coen Brothers, so it was bound to be "different".

One thing I didn't get was why Caspar killed the Dane when the Dane was strangling Tom. There didn't really seem to be any explanation offered.
