1. By the time the blokes played by McGregor and Farrell get around to confronting their misdeeds, they're the only ones who care.
2. The problem is, you don't feel the human sweat and strain in Cassandra's Dream, despite game work from Farrell and McGregor. There are plenty of ideas and themes and no people of distinctive interest to enliven them.
3. Although all the performances are remarkable, the actors can't break free from the too neat-and-tidy script.
4. A clumsy, clichéd morality play that may actually represent the lowest point of Allen's recently chequered career.
5. Woody Allen's neurotic-speak works wonders coming from a New Yorker, but coming from a Brit? Not so much.
6. The writing is terrific as are the performances by Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor who play brothers with dreams beyond their means.
7. This is Colin Farrell's best work in years and proof that Woody Allen is an old dog, and these are new tricks.
8. Every Woody Allen movie becomes an occasion to discuss what went wrong with Woody Allen movies. My own theory is that Allen simply became too efficient at getting his movies made %u2014 he works quickly and cheaply and he never has to convince his backers
9. Woody Allen vuelve sobre ciertos temas de algunas de sus mejores obras (Crímenes y Pecados, Match Point), pero esta vez sin una gran historia que los sustente.
10. Taken for what it is, and without hoping for another Match Point or Crimes and Misdemeanors, Cassandra's Dream is a fine genre film that succeeds at what it attempts, even if it doesn't attempt all that much.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?
Colin Farrell and Tom Wilkinson act up a storm in Cassandra's Dream, but Woody Allen's heavy-handed symbolism and foreshadowing drains the plot of all tension.
