IMDB

Two brothers, Ian and Terry, go in on buying a junked up old boat and fix it up. Ian falls in love with a beautiful actress. He hates the restaurant business and wants to move to California to open some hotels. Terry is a pill-popping gambler who doesn't know when to quit. They ask their uncle to lend them some money, but their uncle wants them to do something for him: kill an old business associate.
Woody Allen has been on a pretty hot streak lately. The only Woody movie from last decade that I didn't really like was Melinda and Melinda. Cassandra's Dream is somewhat in the vein of a Cohen Bros. crime movie and it worked pretty well. There are some similarities between this film and Match Point. This movie plays a lot heavier, this film taking focus on the morality of the situations.


7.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
