Match Point(2005)- User Reviews

What begins as a slightly plodding morality play takes a dark turn midway through, as Match Point's Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (Chris) social climbs his way up the ladder at dad-in-law's company. Well directed and mostly underacted, Match Point takes us through emotional twists and turns till its very surprising conclusion.

Scarlett Johannson is excellent as an intensely sensual actress wannabe; an Oscar nomination is a probability. Some may find her histrionics a bit over-the-top but they were essential to the character.

All in all, Woody Allen does a wonderful job of writing and directing a modern day Austen-like story. Easily his best since Annie Hall.
