Cassandra's Dream

Aroview: Woody Allen-directed suspense, rounding out his recent penchant for London-set thrillers, starring Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell as brothers in over their heads after a big windfall leads them down a road of murderous voracity.

Revisiting the cautionary themes first established in CRIMES AND MISDEMENOURS, Allen brings to a close his preoccupation with murder, infidelity and greed, albeit under the law of diminishing returns. While lacking the screen craft of the superlative MATCH POINT, leads Farrell and McGregor are a compellingly doomed double-act, best viewed as a rubber-necking spectacle, where their respective, intertwined fates are to be reveled in.
