Movie Reviews of Cassandra's DreamMovie Review: The most insipid and uninspiring Allen movie, maybe ever. Summary: 1 Stars
I've always been a huge Allen fan, but the last few years have been brutal, and maybe the old pro better hang it up. Characters that are as stiff as wood with dialogue that has no flow or insight. As in VCB, Allen presumes that a change of country for location (finally out of Manhattan) justifies the exposition of a pale, prosaic movie. The two brothers exist on the stereotypical thrills of poker and "business ventures", how novel? Allen, never one for character development, unfortunately has no story either. Once again, he continues his hot streak of flops outside the comedy genre. Worst of all, Allen has no clue how to add any tension/thriller elements to his movie. Again, he's totally out of his league. Not to mention an ending that's a total ripoff of Polanski's extraordinary Knife in the Water. The only bright spot was Tom Wilkinson's magnificiently conniving performance.
