after this I'll always love a woody allen movie

A fantastic movie, two brothers having completely opposite characters, colin the younger brother with conscious, a suspense movie that Suspense builds as the pair attempt to carry it out which i enjoy very much with a sad ending, colin was so brilliant & so amazing. This was my first time seeing a Woody Allen movie & i'm glad i did because i loved & enjoyed the movie so much, my vote would be 5 / 5 & i recommend this beautiful movie to every one , enjoy it.

Moral Dilemmas

In Woody Allen's latest suspense film, we see the drama played out against a backdrop of family struggles, mostly financial. Two English lower-class brothers, with big dreams, gaze longingly upon a future they cannot quite grasp; their rich uncle, to whom they reach out for help, promises to assist. But they must do the unthinkable...commit murder to help their uncle escape a certain prison term if the target, a whistle-blower, speaks out to the authorities.

Suspense builds as the pair attempt to carry out the deed...almost failing, as their efforts seem ill-timed on more than one occasion. But then it is done.

Now, living with the consequences, especially since they apparently "get away with it", turns out to be more difficult than they had anticipated. Especially for the one brother, whose drinking and depression lead him to the brink.

And then a twist of fate steers the brothers to a dire and tragic end.

This thriller is somewhat less compelling than "Match Point", but is worth the viewer's time and engagement.

Love Woody, Colin and Ewan, however...

I would never miss a Woody Allen film. Or one with Colin Farrell or Ewan McGregor for that matter. Perhaps even more than Colin or Ewan, I'm a Tom Wilkinson fan (he's fabulous here, as a Fagan-uncle). I thoroughly enjoyed everyone - even the "minor" characters (especially the father and Ewan's self-centered actress-girlfriend). However, the film ended too abruptly, without finesse. It was so beautifully, artfully arranged (an Allen gift) with exquisite interiors, gardens, great clothes and cars, not to mention perfect visual directing, but by the end it was "You don't say?" Did Woody run out of film? I needed some lingering mystery, a character twist, or a cool Scotland Yard detective dueling with Wilkinson or the brother who turned out to be different from what we thought. The theme was obvious: greed and stupidity can get you in a whole lot of trouble. Sadly, it lacked a well-turned final act to bring it in as a great film. But I must say, Colin Farrell acquitted himself well as the dim brother with a conscience. My favorite line: "I don't want to kill anybody!" spoken like a scared little boy being put up to steal the cookies.
