Match Point is a wonderfully spellbinding film with complex characters and unforeseen twists and turns. A huge departure from the norm for Woody Allen proves to be one of his best.

I couldn't bring myself to get behind such an unlikeable, spineless, scumbag.

A very different sort of Woody Allen movie; more of a modern-day Hitchcock. There were a few Allen-esque bits in the film, but those were very subtle and would be missed if you didn't know he directed it. Meyers was surprisingly good, and Johansson grew on me as the film went on. Given that this was made well into Woody's career, it is a testament to how great and versatile of a director he is.

From the very beginning, the first scene with Rhys Meyers (Chris) I got shivers of the unpleasant kind. Every scene with him made me want to take a long shower, he was so slimy. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of that he was perfect as the upper-class wannabe sociopath.
The film itself shows a good, delightful Woody Allen without the Allen-character inserted somewhere in it. It's dark and the tension is almost palpable at moments. The finale delivers, it was simple and made me hope for a life-long torture Chris would (and should) endure.

I haven't seen too many Woody Allen films, but this is certainly the best of his work that I have seen which also includes anothe great film in Annie Hall. It's definitely a very precise film with a unique vision of passion, angst, love and desire among many other themes and Allen's subtle but incredibly strong screenplay is compliment by several fantastic performances; most notably from Jonathan Rhys Meyers and the ever beautiful Scarlett Johansson. The film blends many themes and genres and the last thirty minutes are just pure adrenaline, shock and suspense. A gloriously well made and visually great film to look at that even Allen himself has stated how fond of the film he is. On a second viewing, the power of the content hits home even harder and it's further established as one of my all-time favourite films. Pure brilliance from a director that I definitely should explore more.

Woody Allen's career is split in twos. The first part includes his neurotic and oftentimes nerdy love letter to New York films. The second parts films are darker, more evocative, and take place in Europe. Match Point is the first that jumped off this welcomed change that Woody embarked on.

A film that is unlike any of his others. It personifies what it means for a movie to slowly burn right up to an ending that is equal parts surprising and chilling.

Great Woody Allen movie, in fact it doesn't really feel like him at all, showed me some versatility I didn't know he had, the movie is very engaging, the characters deep and interesting and I absolutely love the way the plot develops, it's a train wreck that you see coming but it's none the less surprising.

Match Point had me on the edge of my seat and guessing the whole way through. Woody Allen leaves you in a state of bewildered emotion for all the characters, never sure from one act to the next how the plot will conclude. In complete, Allen offers an intrinsic look at the bounds of relationships and incongruous leverage of social hierarchy.

Raffinierter Film, hatte ich so nicht erwartet und einiges nicht kommen sehen. Lässt mich mit unguten Gefühlen zurück.
