just seen this. was pretty much blown away. never been a fan of woody allen, but this is so sharp, so tight, so intense and funny and real.
I think what is most disturbing about this film is that the events unfold so naturally, one hardly notices the direction it's going until you realize: oh fuck! and go from the comfortable slouch to sitting on the edge of the seat.
what happens to the main character, and what he does all the way up to the you-know-what, can happen to any of us, and we are all capable of. I think this is why it's so alarming and scary more than other films with unrealistic designation of bad people vs. good people.
