Match Point
For the first time in his long career, writer-director Woody Allen takes his cast and crew to London, and the European location breathes new life into the normally Manhattan-centric auteur. Jonathan Rhys Meyers stars as Chris Wilton, a former pro on the world tennis circuit, with eyes set on a very different kind of prize. After meeting Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode) at an exclusive club, he becomes friendly with Tom's extremely wealthy family, including his powerful businessman father, Alec (Brian Cox) and his attractive sister, Chloe (Emily Mortimer), who is desperate to get married and have children. The only problem is that Chris has fallen hard and fast for Tom's fiancee Nola (Scarlett Johansson), an unsuccessful American actress from Colorado who just might share Chris'lustful feelings, a romantic entanglement that could get in the way of his master plan.

Unpleasant story and characters
I loathed this film. I love Woody Allen (well, mostly) but this film was a big disappointment and with hindsight we should have stopped watching after the first... read more »

I'd still take a Woody collection to my desert island
Not a great Woody film. Though less successful its still head and shoulders above the best most others can offer. Scarlett the muse, like a sunbeam breaks into ... read more »
