Am i the only one who thinks this movie is awesome!


I love this film. it has all the plot work right and I feel that I am the only person standing in a sinking boat. what is up with that! this film was incredible and I truly loved it. it was great acting from Ewan Mcgregor and Collin Farrel, none the less.

You are not alone.. It was excellent.. I'm so sick of all of the ridiculous expectations placed on Mr. Allen as a filmmaker.. Sure, he's in his twilight, but I was much more engaged by this than even The Dark Knight. I must be old-fashioned in my tastes, but this film was designed by the ghost of classic tension....

I do have to say the Dark KNight is way better than this movie though!!!!!!!!! I can't help it! I am a Heath Ledger fan and what makes me angy is that People didn't even know who he was until the Joker! It just agravates me!

NO!!! i really like the film. woody allen is a genius who develops plot with much talent. the scenes are shot in an interesting way and the acting was pretty good.

No, I too thought it was a wonderful film from start to finish, I was thoroughly hooked from the beginning. The dialogue was a bit clunky at times but overall I loved the film. The direction was superb and of course the score sublime. I have to say I enjoyed watching this film very much.

I really loved this film. Ewan MacGregor was amazing (as always) and Collin Farrel was brilliant, at the same level he was in "In Bruges". Was it jsut me, or are "In Bruges" and "Cassandra's Dream" alot alike?

reply

I think it's a great movie. I really enjoyed it and the excellent performances by Ewan & Colin. Woody Allen is a brilliant director

I wouldn't say it was awesome, but it was a well-acted, well-cast, tense thriller and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Seven and a half out of ten.

It was nothing like the other Woody Allen films I've seen, (I've seen about six - mostly New York based comedies) and I'd never have guessed he was the director if I hadn't known. He did a good job though - another string to his bow!

Well, I wouldn't think that In Bruges was alike to Cassandra's Dream, but they are two very good movies and I would enjoy watching them over and over again. Colin did very well in both films.

This was a very good film. I liked Match Point a bit better and I just watched a non-Woody movie called Before The Devil Knows You're Dead last week which is comparable to this film. I would highly recommend all three.

Excellent acting but some direction flaws like Tom Wilkinson's horrible accent for one.
