Full Plot Details

Two London brothers are hard-up for cash, and both have girls to look out for, too. When rich Uncle Howard comes to town and agrees to help them out, he admits his finances are under investigation, and he asks them to do him a favor and "take care of" an old business relation to keep his trouble under wraps - he says that they're family, and since he always takes care of them, the least they could do is help him out this once, as they're the only ones he can trust. The film follows their struggle with the immorality of this request and how each brother chooses to deal with it.

Movie Reviews

tonymedley.com - 10/10 by Tony MedleyColin Farrell, Ewan McGregor, and Tom Wilkinson catch Woody Allen at the top of his game. The result is Allen's best work to date, and Farrell's best performance.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonA surprisingly solid, expertly constructed crime drama.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 9/10 by Colin CovertAllen's austere, carefully plotted story is the opposite of a whodunit. It's a why- and how-dunit.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by William ArnoldThis 38th Allen film (and third in a row to be set in London) is a drama about two brothers that's so heavy in tone it seems inspired by Greek tragedy and the grimmest '40s film noir.
PopMatters - 9/10 by Bill GibronTrying to balance the demands of his well-meaning motives with the requirements of the genre leaves Allen unsettled and ineffective, two words that encompass the creative drought evident in Cassandra's Dream.
Film Blather - 9/10 by Eugene NovikovIf Cassandra's Dream doesn't have the heft of Match Point, mostly due to an ending that tries too hard, I'd argue that it's a much more human film.
DVDTalk.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfAllen doesn't breeze through this biblical tale of wicked brothers without exploring all possibilities of guilt, and while it can make the whisky-soaked picture feel three days long, it does nothing to dilute the essential dread that Allen writes so well.
New York Post - 9/10 by Kyle SmithIt's a pulp story pinned to the screen with an ice pick of conscience in a manner that would have pleased Allen's idol, Ingmar Bergman.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan - 9/10 by Jeanne KaplanWhen it comes to wrapping up the story, Allen can't seem to make up his mind.
Paste Magazine - 9/10 by Sean GandertTaken for what it is, and without hoping for another Match Point or Crimes and Misdemeanors, Cassandra's Dream is a fine genre film that succeeds at what it attempts, even if it doesn't attempt all that much.
