Cassandra's Dream

I Dreamt of a better film

This monotonous thriller, the latest from Woody Allen, clings to the shifty, mostly convincing portrayals of McGregor and Farrell as two brothers caught in a bad situation; it's almost too similar to Sidney Lumet's recent Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, and too reminiscent of Allen's own Match Point, though it has less style, no atmosphere, no thrills and a much too abrupt ending. A genre exercise with no guts by a master filmmaker who's in way over his head. Final Grade: C-
