Crossing the Line of Morality
In London, the loser brothers from a working-class family, Ian (Ewan McGregor) and Terry (Colin Farrell), buy a second-hand sailboat name Cassandra’s Dream for their leisure. Ian poses of big shot and has big dreams, saving money to invest in two hotels in California while the unstable Terry is an alcoholic gambler addicted in pills and mechanic. When Terry loses a great amount in a card game, Ian lends his savings to pay part of the sum Terry owes to loan sharks. When their wealthy uncle Howard (Tom Wilkinson) arrives in London coming from China, the brothers see the chance to borrow the money they need to quit the debt with the loan sharks and to invest in the hotel. However, Howard asks them to get rid of his former associated Martin Burns (Phil Davis) that is threatening him and his businesses. Ian and Terry have to decide whether they shall cross the line and help family or face the lack the money to resolve their issues.

“Cassandra’s Dream” is a tragic thriller where the plot point is the moral decision of two simple but honest brothers whether they should cross the line, commit murder and live with that later. Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor have great performances and their characters are perfectly developed; Hayley Atwell is extremely gorgeous. However, Martin Burns is not well-developed, maybe intentionally by the writer and director Woody Allen, to keep a distance from the viewer the same way Ian and Terry do in the story. The tension in the plot is limited, actually prevailing the dramatic moral fight of Terry and Ian later in this engaging movie. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): “O Sonho de Cassandra” (“The Cassandra’s Dream”)

Two brothers, and making dreams a reality
Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell star in “Cassandra’s Dream,” also starring Tom Wilkinson and Hayley Atwell.

Set in London, McGregor and Farrell play brothers Ian and Terry. Terry is a compulsive gambler who works in a car shop (Farrell), and Ian (McGregor) is helping his father out at the family restaurant but wants to do big things in the investment world.

Terry is the wild one, a hard drinker who racks up 90,000 pounds of debt and has to go to a loan shark. Ian, meanwhile, uses the fancy cars where his brother works and talks big to impress a young actress (Atwell), with whom he falls madly in love.

Their mother (Claire Higgins) brags constantly about her brother Howard (Wilkinson), the wealthy L.A. plastic surgeon, and Uncle Howard visits, giving the boys a chance to hit him up for money — Terry for his gambling debts and Ian so he can buy into some L.A. hotels. That’s fine with Uncle Howard, but he wants something in return. It seems he and his clinics are under investigation, and one of his associates, Martin Burns (Phil Davis) is ready to testify against him. What he wants in exchange for helping out is that his nephews kill Martin Burns.

The brothers balk, and Terry absolutely refuses, but gradually both he and Ian come around and agree to do it.

This is Woody Allen, so there is no Hayes code or old Hollywood ending to these types of films when he does them. As in “Match Point,” Allen plays on the themes of fate, God, and here, the misery of life. What is it he said in one film, life is full of horror and tragedy, and it’s over too quickly, and then he compared it with women in the Poconos complaining about the horrible food, and one says, yes, and in such small portions.

In “Crimes and Misdemeanors,” Allen explored the theme of guilt, and the Martin Landau character comes to a conclusion about it. Here, he explores another side of guilt while holding fast to the feelings expressed by Landau in Crimes, and not expressed — but certainly felt — by Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in “Match Point.” And he plays on the irony of fate in a way done in neither of the above-mentioned films. He’s done Ingmar Bergman, now he does Dostoyevsky.

I have no idea how Allen can be so incredibly prolific, but I’m so glad that he is, and that sometimes he’s willing to be so deadly serious. Though “Cassandra’s Dream” doesn’t have the operatic highs of “Match Point,” it’s still a strong film, driven by an inexhaustible mind.
