I enjoyed the film. Colin Farrell gives a great performance that showcases his incredible talents. He is able to portray a vulnerable, troubled man with tremendous realism. It's hard to believe that the same guy can easily portray tough guys in other roles. Ewan McGregor and Tom Wilkinson give strong performances in a film that shows another side of Woody Allen's directorial skills.
Amazon.com is pre-selling the film for a reasonable $15.99
Starring powerhouse actors, Colin Farrell (Miami Vice, Minority Report) and Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor** (Star Wars films, Moulin Rouge), CASSANDRA’S DREAM portrays the desperation of two brothers who will do anything to make their lives better, even if that means getting involved with the wrong people and the wrong situations.
CASSANDRA’S DREAM is another riveting film from Academy Award® winning director Woody Allen. It also features outstanding performances from an ensemble cast that includes two-time Academy Award® nominee Tom Wilkinson*** (Michael Clayton, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Sally Hawkins (The Painted Veil), and newcomer Hayley Atwell.
Synopsis:
Terry (Farrell) is a chronic gambler in debt over his head; his brother Ian (McGregor) is a young man in love with a beautiful actress he has recently met (Atwell). When their Uncle Howard (Wilkinson) arrives in London under mysterious circumstances, the brothers’ lives gradually become entangled in sinister situations with intense and unfortunate results.
