The question is, how do you like your pastiche? Period-appropriate or -agnostic? Quietly sincere or extremely arch? Hey, do you want to see Sam Raimi get shot at? Whatever direction your tastes may lean, you could do worse than spend time with Adam and Aidan as they take Miller’s Crossing out for a walk in the woods.
