Woody Allen scores again in 'Match Point'

Not since "A Place in the Sun" has a movie so expertly examined the explosive consequences of ambition, lust, greed and selfishness. "Match Point" is Woody Allen's best picture in more than a decade — an excellent character piece/social study that evolves into a suspense thriller with an O. Henry twist. Read the full review

TO SUM UP
When former tennis pro Chris Wilton befriends Tom Hewett and marries his sister, the doors are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris had once only dreamed of. He should have settled for happiness, but is torn by his attraction to Tom's impossibly beautiful and sensual fiance. The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to make a critical choice.

READ THE REVIEW

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A-
"The London air must have done something for the veteran filmmaker because this is an entirely new voice. If his name weren't in the credits, critics would be raving about a stimulating newcomer with a distinctive style."

Austin American-Statesman: 4 of 5 stars
"... a gripping tale that stands on its own, with a Cult of Woody membership card not required for appreciation."

The Palm Beach Post: C-
"It may be better than most of Allen's recent releases, but it is also derivative, artificial and surface-deep."
