The Weinstein Company will distribute Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream, which "has been said to be in a darker vein, similar to Match Point," according to one published report. Forget darker -- it's pitch black, this film. (I happened upon a massive third-act plot spoiler on the Cassandra's Dream Wikipedia page.) The drama costars Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell as two brothers under financial pressure who fall for a femme fatale (Haley Atwell), who steers them into a criminal scheme.

says ...I ignored the critical hubbub and went in not expecting very much and it turned out to be a mostly nifty psychological thriller.

says ...I'm slightly skeptical about how genuine that Wikipedia article is, since it's been up for several months now. If it really were revealing the plot of a movie that hasn't even had its premiere yet, shouldn't someone have ordered it to be taken down? Maybe it will be taken down now that the Weinsteins own the film, if it's true.

says ...I don't think Match Point was overrated at all. Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Great performances and a twist NO ONE saw coming. The audience I saw it with (of course they are Woody fans to begin with) really enjoyed it. Sure it's similar to Crimes, but other directors can get away with doing the "same old same old." But this was very well done and Woody is a pro with this type of relationship drama/conflict. And I didn't find anything "philosophically pretentious" about it, as if it were Matrix philosophy 101. I also enjoyed how Woody was poking fun at the British upper class.
