A change of scenery does Woody Allen a world of good in Match Point. Making his first film in the U.K. with a story originally conceived for New York, Allen once again takes up issues of morality and guilt in what amounts to An English Tragedy, as in Theodore Dreiser. Well-observed and superbly cast picture is the filmmaker's best in quite a long time and as such reps an attractive potential acquisition for a U.S. distrib keen to break Allen's recent string of B.O. flops.
Although the script is spiked with mordant humor, the prevailing serious mood is underlined by doom-laden laments from Italian grand opera and refs to Dostoevsky, Strindberg and even Andr...
If it weren't for a few small, telltale details ??? a character flipping through not one but two Dostoevsky novels at bedtime, a cash-challenged actress living in a charming London one-bedroom ??? you might never know that Match Point was Woody Allen's latest.

Nobody stutters or trips over the furniture, compulsively quoting Strindberg and Groucho Marx. It pretty much keeps its pulse steady, its blood cold and its nerves tamped down ??? which, combined with cinematographer Remi Adefarasin's...
Awful

I really liked everybody in this film. Scarlett Johansen was the typical spoiled brat american girl. It tells you alot about the british class system also. Very thrilling, recommended it to any1 but young children and old ladies who don't like sex scenes!
