Match Point (2005)
Game, set, temptation.
Presentation:
The film plays to a very different beat than other dramas as Woody Allen films have a very different tone and rhythm. But the relationships are tense and sexy, probably due to the allure of a dark tall handsome stranger and complementary seductive Scarlett Johannson at her visual prime. Brings you a familiar chemistry from Thomas Crowne Affair.
Conclusion:
A mature and tantalizing story with all the scandalous turns you could crave, which feel slightly hollow but overall delightfully satisfying.Woody Allen doesn’t often do thrillers, meaning for him to take this on will only mean a fresh perspective on the genre.
