(MILLER'S CROSSING). A great debut for Rian Johnson, a filmmaker whose works I greatly admire. The guy hasn't made a bummer yet, from the fun, con-artist heist film THE BROTHERS BLOOM to the sci-fi time travel crime film LOOPER.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-61062881505483267782013-09-06T17:02:51.680-07:002013-09-06T17:02:51.680-07:00As I mentioned above, the whole thing is very styl...As I mentioned above, the whole thing is very stylized, so you don't get the feeling that is supposed to take place in the real world. I think that helps with the whole "teens only" vibe you may get from it. Roman J.

It's like older people don't exist in Hollywood. I had a friend that enjoyed it too, so I may have to add to the queue.
