From NetFlix:
When two brothers turn to crime to solve their money troubles,
they soon find themselves over their heads and pitted against
each other in this thriller from Oscar-winning writer-director
Woody Allen. Meanwhile, one brother (Ewan McGregor) becomes smitten
with a beautiful young actress (Hayley Atwell), while his sibling
(Colin Farrell) struggles with mounting gambling debts. Tom
Wilkinson and Sally Hawkins co-star.
Woody Allen’s “Cassandra’s Dream” is nothing special. The beginning of the film offers no
tension except Colin Farrell’s addiction to gambling. But when Colin loses big-time and his
uncle Tom Wilkinson arrives on scene, things begin to turn ugly. By then I was hooked and
had to see how the film ended. Colin Farrell portrays a distraught young man with a conscience.
Would not be my first choice,
