Perfectly written by the Coen brothers and superbly directed by brother Joel this is one of my favorite all-time Mobster flics that has a tone unlike most gangster movies. Gabriel Byrne and Albert Finney are excellent in the movie as are John Turturro, Steve Buscemi and Michael Jeter and it really is a fine piece of work from the genius filmmakers. My only complaint would be the casting of Marcia Gay Harden, who is a fine and udnerrated actress but in my opinion is not a leading love interest. Still, I have always been a big fan of Byrne's and wish he had done more work and who doesn't like Finney.......great work indeed.
