Cassandra's Dream

In early 2008, after a stint in rehab and a year and a half off screens, Colin Farrell would return by pairing up with another titanic actor for a fatalistic, offbeat European crime film. But this isn't that one, this the other one, the one that fully doesn't exist - it's Cassandra's Dream! The third in Woody Allen's trilogy of London-set thrillers, this movie, about two brothers asked to commit a murder, sits so firmly in the shadow of Match Point that it never really had a chance, and mostly exists as an odd footnote in the lead-up to, well, what Colin's about to do. We get into the weird, inert, half-formed nature of this movie, but because it really isn't very interesting we mostly just touch on some Miami Vice stuff that we somehow didn't get to on that episode and take a look back at Colin's blockbuster era. Connor has basically never seen a Woody Allen film. Cole has a hot take about Matt Damon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
