Cassandra's Dream (2007,  PG-13)
Cassandra's Dream 4.0 Stars
Writer-director Woody Allen is in his 70s, making film after film (sometimes twice a year; late summer brings the much-buzzed-about VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA). This middle-of-the-road effort is the master nebish's latest from London: a crime melodrama about upper-middle-class working stiff brothers (Ewan McGregor as the calm, cool one and Colin Farrell as the gambling addict basket-case). They're in debt up to their ears and find an opportunity when a well-off uncle (Tom Wilkinson, great as always) asks them for a favor - kill a blackmailing business associate (Phil Daniels). As Farrell and McGregor get in over their respective heads, Allen gets deeper and deeper into CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS and MATCH POINT territory (echoes, never reaching those heights). This film resembles Sidney Lumet's BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD, recalling yet never quite achieving that film's grand guignol/Greek tragic proportions in the end. The film is slow and not too dark (nor too witty), with an abrupt and realistic ending that's missing a shot or two (an auteur's choice if ever there was). Good Allen fare.
