In Miller’s Crossing, Tom Reagan is caught in the middle of a gang war, trying to outsmart both sides while keeping his own skin safe. But the deeper he gets into the world of crime, the harder it becomes to tell who’s on his side.
Some fans believe that Tom’s betrayal of his boss, Leo, wasn’t just to save himself—it might’ve been part of a larger plan to take control of the gang world. Perhaps Tom had always been playing both sides, working his way to the top.
What if Tom had chosen to leave the crime world altogether, taking a quieter life instead of being pulled deeper into the violence? Could there have been a happy ending for him?
A key moment comes when Tom tries to outwit both sides during a crucial showdown, where he manipulates everyone around him, showing just how far he’s willing to go.
An alternate ending could show Tom escaping with the money and walking away from it all. Or, a prequel could explore his rise to power and the events that led him into this dangerous world. What made him so ruthless?
