Director: Joel Coen Writers: Joel Coen; Ethan Coen From novel: Red Harvest and Glass Key by Dashiell Hammett Music by: Carter Burwell Producer: Ethan Coen Keywords: Crime, Prohibition Prohibition-era Irish crime boss Leo O'Bannon maintains an uneasy peace with upstart Italian rival Johnny Caspar. When Caspar needs errant bookie Bernie Bernbaum killed, O'Bannon extends protection to him because his girlfriend Verna is Bernbaum's sister.

REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 1-Aug-2006) It took me a couple viewings to
completely figure out what was up with the myriad plot twists. Complex
and layered to say the least. (Just like life - watch your back.) And
that is the reason I now LOVE THIS MOVIE! Thanks once again to those
brilliant Coens and another standout role from the underrated Gabriel
Byrne (who should have a received at least one Oscar by now).
