Match Point - DVD

My daughter told me about this movie. I just love Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers together in this thriller. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Writer/director Woody Allen isn't in it, and there's not a laugh anywhere to be found, but "Match Point" is easily the Woodman's best movie in years. Lots of years. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is excellent as a subtle but Steerpikishly snakey social-climber who marries into money despite being in love with his new brother-in-law's fiancee. That object of desire is the radiantly golden Scarlett Johansson, but Allen doesn't exactly put her on a pedestal. Her character is somewhat crass, slightly shrewish, and possessed of a few unseemly secrets. Everything about this suspenseful love triangle is enjoyable, especially the delicious tension of waiting for the, ahem, "tennis ball" to hit the fan. As always, Allen the director adamantly refuses to move the camera, but this static approach does a good job of reflecting the constricted husband's quiet desperation in his too-comfortable new surroundings. The third act goes into territory you won't be expecting (unless other reviews have ruined the surprise, which unfortunately is quite likely). And something that happens by an incredibly lucky coincidence seems a little too handy, but fits nicely with the movie's theme that it's better to be lucky than to be good. Recommended!

It is a great movie i recommened it . Full of passion and suspense scarlett johansson was incredible
