Woody Allen's "CASSANDRA'S DREAM".

I was never a huge fan of Woody Allen, so I really wasn't expecting any big surprises, or a movie with much  creative  make-up. Woody Allen's resume is supported buy some very good movie roles,  and has shared the screen with some fine actors. Allen's style is to predicable, things just fall apart, or seem to be left undone. In Cassandra's Dream, ,  where there should be a continuous stream of intrigue, and cleverness, there is none. At the very beginning of Cassandra's Dream, Woody Allen has what seems to be a great idea, and begins the movie with a bit of intrigue. But, that's the extend of the thought, he just waltzes through the rest of the movie as if he just wanted to finish without cultivating any more suspense. This film had the potential to be a really fine film.

Cassandra's Dream was simply okay, predictable Woody Allen. The movie would've been a really fine suspenseful mystery. It had many options available for creative exploration. He should have allowed himself to explore some of them. Instead, some parts were left empty and the ending typical Woody Allen. The acting was superb. A story that had the potential to be one of the years best mystery's certainly fell way short. Maybe next time Woody Allen will allow himself to dig a little deeper into thought and develop something special, he certainly had all the makings for it with this film.
