Match Point


Match Point: Woody Allen turns to drama, suspense, and the city of London for his latest masterpiece. The plot involves love, lust and a little luck. Chris Wilton a former Tennis pro marries Chloe Hewett and with that marries into a very, very….very wealthy family. His life seems set……until he meets Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson), she is dating his wife’s brother and is set to be his future sister-in-law. His feelings for her get him in an awful situation and the tension rises. The story is so captivating; it had me on the edge of my seat for the last 45 minutes. Just when you think it is bad….it gets worse. Woody Allen took a simple story line and turns it into one of the best films of the year! – And one of the more suspenseful movies to come along in some time. I walked out of the theater and my body was racing, nervous for what I just saw. The acting, story, and directing all are excellent. A fantastic film!!!
